Well after today's gains (if it holds), my 401K should at least be even, or within 1% of it, YTD.

RUBI with quick drop. Seen this rodeo before. These are bottom shaking moves prior to a move upward, I'm pretty confident.
Then... what happens exactly to assign me the shares?
Assuming the value of the stock is under 7.50 at the strike date (June 19th in this case), it will be automatically assigned to you and your brokerage will calculate your holding cost at 5.20. If the stock is over the 7.50 at strike date, then the put expires worthless and you just keep the premium that was put in your account at the sell dateAgEng06 said:Just to be sure I'm following...

Good point...your brokerage would tie up $750 in cash to cover this, making sure that you have enough to buy the stock at valueMcInnis 03 said:Sell the $7.5pAgEng06 said:Just to be sure I'm following...

Pocket $2.30 today
If stock closes below $7.50 on June 19 your account deducts $750 per contract and you get 100 shares per contract
You choose to do what you want with your shares. Your net cost is indeed $5.20 each; however, you have to be ready to give the $7.50 per share on that day. What you do with the $2.30 ea today is your business. Consider it a cash advance.

playing out so faroldarmy1 said:
Need to see above $297.50 on SPY. Get a breakout going above that and set your remaining TWTR $30 May 29 calls at $2.75.
Set a sell at $1.60 and hopefully get your account to $1700 from $1600 today. Set a stop at $0.50 so a $10 risk for $100 reward.TecRecAg said:

Are you holding SPX puts or are you short ES?
It's an accumulation play right now...doubt it will be a short term winner (at least in the next couple of weeks)Aggie_2463 said:
RUBI is making me nervous. Big green day at it's basically flat
On RUBI it's probably 6 in one half-dozen in the other. But as the writer of the contract I get money now instead of paying money, and I can roll the contract as the time approaches if I need to to manipulate my position and collect more premium to do it.cisgenderedAggie said:McInnis 03 said:Sell the $7.5pAgEng06 said:Just to be sure I'm following...

So why not buy the $2.50 call instead of the shares?
Just to fully understand... If I did this and then decided I didn't like it, what are the options for getting out? Buy to close? What are the implications of that?gougler08 said:Good point...your brokerage would tie up $750 in cash to cover this, making sure that you have enough to buy the stock at valueMcInnis 03 said:Sell the $7.5pAgEng06 said:Just to be sure I'm following...

Yes, buy to close. If the trade goes in your direction but you decide you don't want to get put, you could buy to close (ie: trading at 7.25, you could buy back hte contract for .40 or something like that.). Same in the other direction but then you lose money on the transaction most likely.AgEng06 said:Just to fully understand...
