SorSat, Aug 23, 2025, 6:15 PM 7 min readTom Rairdon, 75, began trading meme stocks after he retired early.Courtesy of Tom RairdonTom Rairdon, 75, began trading meme stocks to combat boredom in retirement.He ended up nearly doubling his portfolio in three years by trading high-volatility stocks.He told Business Insider his strategy for passing the time while earning "Vegas money" on the side.Nobody told Tom Rairdon how dull retirement would be.After working in the radio industry for more than three decades, the 75-year-old officially left the workforce more than two decades ago, flush with savings and ready to enjoy the "country club life," he told Business Insider in an interview.Post-work life, mostly filled by rounds of golf with the boys—he played over 200 rounds in one year—ended up being far less exciting than he expected.Then he stumbled into the market for meme stocks."I mean, you can only play so much golf," Rairdon said of his retirement. "A buddy of mine suggested day trading. I went, 'Yeah, why not?'"As far as day traders go, Rairdon is a rarity. He's one of the many retail investors who flooded the market in 2021, back when the stock market was buoyed by a flood of pandemic stimulus and meme stock icons embodied the cultural zeitgeist.But he's one of the few who's managed to stay profitable, despite waging bets on some of the market's most volatile assets.Rairdon, who trades a mix of meme stocks and other high-volatility stocks out of his Roth IRA, has seen the value of his portfolio soar 82% over the last three years, with $19,000 in unrealized gains this year alone, according to a brokerage statement viewed by Business Insider.It's not a life-changing sum. But that's of little importance to Rairdon, whose goal is more to fill his days — and, of course, make some extra "Vegas money," he says, should the markets swing in the right direction."The money has never been the problem," he said of retirement. "It's what to do."Being in the radio business was the best job Rairdon ever had. But, with time, the industry changed so much that it stopped being fun, leading him to quit when he was 55. From there, his dilemma began.A 2024 survey from Resume Builder found that boredom was the second-most common reason retired Americans said they were considering going back to work in the next year.Growing bored with the golf course, Rairdon tried his hand at a bunch of different activities. He volunteered for Reading for the Blind. He briefly launched a copier business. At 67, he became a truck driver for Whole Foods and Target, mainly because he wanted to do some sight-seeing around America.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P 5006,466.91 +96.74 (+1.52%)Dow 3045,631.74 +846.24 (+1.89%)Nasdaq21,496.54 +396.22 (+1.88%)Russell 20002,361.95 +87.85 (+3.86%)VIX14.22 -2.38 (-14.34%)Gold3,418.50 +36.90 (+1.09%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersOPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 5.01 +1.41 (+39.17%)UI Ubiquiti Inc. 510.23 +119.66 (+30.64%)MNSO MINISO Group Holding Limited 26.63 +4.46 (+20.12%)RXO RXO, Inc. 16.97 +2.27 (+15.44%)NIO NIO Inc. 6.34 +0.80 (+14.44%)Top losersNEGG Newegg Commerce, Inc. 100.75 -15.03 (-12.98%)BJ BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. 97.11 -9.05 (-8.52%)INTU Intuit Inc. 662.66 -35.10 (-5.03%)DUOL Duolingo, Inc. 331.87 -13.65 (-3.95%)CSX CSX Corporation 34.58 -1.29 (-3.60%)Most activeOPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 5.01 +1.41 (+39.17%)NIO NIO Inc. 6.34 +0.80 (+14.44%)INTC Intel Corporation 24.80 +1.30 (+5.53%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 177.99 +3.01 (+1.72%)LCID Lucid Group, Inc. 2.0300 -0.0600 (-2.87%)Earnings eventsTrending tickersINTC Intel Corporation 24.80 +1.30 (+5.53%)BTC-USD Bitcoin USD 115,009.37 -1,781.42 (-1.53%)SOL-USD Solana USD 202.68 +4.83 (+2.44%)XRP-USD XRP USD 3.02 -0.07 (-2.41%)ETH-USD Ethereum USD 4,731.44 -114.74 (-2.37%)Top economic events
