Someone just pocketed over a million betting Warner Bros. would climb. That's the kind of play that makes you wonder—did they catch wind of something, or was it pure timing?

Either way, riding a media giant's upswing to seven figures isn't your everyday move. The setup must've looked clean: entry, conviction, exit. No hesitation.

What's wild is how these bets surface after the fact. You never hear about the ones who called it wrong on the same stock. Survivor bias hits different when million-dollar wins make headlines and the losses stay quiet.

Still, respect where it's due. Spotting momentum before the crowd does takes either serious research or serious guts. Maybe both.
