Just start reading the "TexAgs watershed moment" thread. Then imagine others with more vitriol that have been deleted.

Exactly lol. There's a reason this is the only thread I really read on this entire board. Let's see if we can get over 315 today.

Set to open close to 121 if things hold. That mofo, I can't win to lose. I had the 115 call at lunch yesterday but the 114 movement was lagggggy so I bailed on it.

I'm looking at those $180 calls like an overpriced lotto ticket. If GOOG buys ROKU then I see it as being a stock swap type of deal and not a cash purchase.

The vix could hit 100 and the markets wouldn't be as volatile as F16.

I made the mistake of going to f16 after seeing some of the posts elsewhere. Really wish I hadn't, kinda threw me into a depression of sorts.

Hopefully a little trading can help me stifle the emotions.

Looking to finally switch from Robinhood and throw some more money into a different account. Can anyone dumb it down and explain the major differences between etrade/TDameritrade/fidelity or any other online trading platform

Did anyone talk about the 1.07 million in OXY 9/18 24C yesterday at 3:58 (eastern)?

Always wondered what happens in that case? Do you still get a premium for the purchase and now you own Google stock? Same with reverse stock splits where the price goes through the roof and you are holding options. I would assume on the options side it also reflects the reverse stock split?

Personally, I like Fidelity. Nice functionality, reputable, easy to use website. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of those as they will all offer mostly the same thing.

Can one of our resident chartists take a look at NFLX? It's up in premarket and I'm curious if it has more room to run. I'm seeing resistance at 445 but also have no confidence in what I am doing. Holding a few overnight 445 6/19 options.

Well there is normally enough time between announcement and completion of the transaction that the share price will stabilize somewhere near the agreement price. I would think you would then want to either close out or exercise your option, I don't think it converts to another security.

Important day or two here. Watch to make sure we aren't at a secondary level top from initial top versus completing the full "V" and likely seeing a new high before anything dramatic.

Today's gap is small, but the volume says its playable.

In the case of splits, the options will trade under a separate ticker that's adjusted according to the split. In TDA, for example, it might say "(16/100)" after the ticker. There will also be a normal 1:1 ticker for the option. The fractional options are typically not as liquid.

With respect to buyouts, profitable or not depends upon the ultimate share price and option strike price.

If you are going to be desktop, don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Mobile, TDA has the best interface through the thinkorswim app, in my opinion. Fidelity is very clunky, especially with options and constantly having to set how many strikes you want on the option chain. Haven't tried ETrade, so no feedback on them.

RUBI has a pending July option that involves their part stock/part cash acquisition of another company several months back. Fidelity lists it as July (ADJ) and it's weird looking.

On the subject of Brokers, I'm getting frustrated with Schwab's lacking features.

Anyone use Tradestation?

Oh boy you guys aren't kidding. No f16 for me.

On a market note, if you guys were going to park cash for 6 months what would you do with it? I get 2.1 through my mma, but wouldn't mind a little more risk with my play money.

Yes, TDA shows those as 108/100 (US$ 0.95). In that case, each contract is for 108 shares.

The price is also adjusted - many things can cause this (merger, special dividend, etc.).
