I was kind of lucky.
I worked in valuations and derivatives. Because of that we use implied probabilities every day.
Whever you see something trading at 2pct implied probability you check it for an error. Most things in the world are not 2pct, even things with virtually no chance trade at 2pct as someone always believes!
It really struck me retail investors look interms of win and loose at first reaction. Many do not project the future and think in terms of absolutes. Many asked me what if you looset he cass, so I changed the question would you buy if the court hearing had happened. 90pct said yes because it was validated and the event was near.
This was interesting as I think even the company talks about the wrong probability as so the brokers.
To make money it is what is the probability of a court case happening ( not winning). If that happens it will rerate alot and you can derisk the decision
You might argue the chance of winning is 50/50 ( i think higher). But the chance of getting to court. Most cases even if just semi reasonable will get to court.
Anyway, nice my day job finally was useful!
