Stocks/options, etc.. are pretty profitable if you know what you're doing.
Some people have literally made BILLIONS of dollars due to the pandemic recently. Why?
Because they invested a shit ton of money into options of companies that benefited from the pandemic for example Zoom.
Fun fact: if you invested 1m yesterday into Zoom options u would have made $400,000. (400k) profit today.
Zoom is one of the options that really went high as fuck as they revealed their earnings yesterday evening it went 40%+ up.
