Thinking pretty hard on selling SDC May 15 8.5C to drop my cost basis. I don't think we'll get there, and right now it's looking about .50. Bad idea?
Honestly, no. I think it's going to eventually get back above 10, at least, so if we somehow shot up I'd probably look to buy them back at a loss. I'm only talking 4 contracts here, so it's not a massive position.jtmoney03 said:
Depends on your cost basis and goals. Are you good with 8.50-x as your profit if exercised? If so, give it a try. It's a great way to learn how covered calls work/move from now to expiration. Pocket some premium, or be good with the profit on the sold shares.
I sold covered 9 calls a day ago for 0.25 premium...if I'm called out it's almost a full double on a 2 week investment so I'll take it and move to the next oneMaximus_Meridius said:Honestly, no.

Decided to go throw out a line with the 9C at the same date, the premium there is .40. If someone bites, great. If not, oh well.

It's definitely great to learn more each week! I just think there were a lot of people on that thread that have found themselves at home with a computer and no employer supervision so they would try their hand at options trading and threw a lot into it before fully grasping what it is they're actually doing.

SQ showing good strength today. Could be a double top and consolidate and could also run another $10 putting the $100 magnet in play. I'm going to hold my swing a bit longer into next week even after 20%+.
There was lots of call option flow earlier this week
what about setting up a discord?Prognightmare said:
Hey OA, and everyone else:
What would you think about creating a "Trade tips/ideas" thread to the board? That thread would be just be 1 post of anyone's idea and reasoning and no discussion. The same trade tip/idea would be posted in here but with discussion pro vs con like we do now. It would essentially just be a quick guide reference for us to click on and quickly see what everyone is seeing and thinking in a snapshot. I think this would benefit a lot of folks that can't sit on their computers on TexAgs all day. When everyone goes back to work fully, it would allow busy people to just peak in and maybe see an opportunity. It would also benefit people that may miss a trade because it's several pages in the past. This thread has grown in traffic immensely.
Just thinking out loud.
What does everyone think?
