Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to trade options yet. Too busy. I just buy and sell or sell and buy stocks. Can't imagine the time I'd spend on trading if you mixed options into my forte. Instead of half my client base being unhappy with my service, it would be closer to 80%!!!khaos288 said:450p is cheap lottogeorge1992 said:

Well I went ahead and took at stab at this "put" thingy. Not sure what I'm doing but the most I will lose is 4K. I purchased 10 $500 strike price puts for $4000. Dipping my toe in the water so to speak.
"the most I will lose is 4k..." while taking "a stab at this put thingy."
Not saying that's a bad trade or anything, just dang. hefty cash to swing around for a put thingy
Edit: One day that'll be me, maybe???

My trading account fluctuates in 10K swings all the time. Not too much money in it but its highly leveraged. I am a man with big balls and a small brain.
You guys are starting to make me feel like I'm doing it wrong. Reminds me of my first time with a woman.Pignorant said:

It's just your personal risk tolerance
Today is a throw away day. Reason options have time value. SDC had big volume spike and broke out of tight intraday channel
SDC
BYND went in the wrong direction
I rolled out to next week on BYND. Blah
S&P lot of capitulation going on....something about to break
Still learning here, so please help me to understand. When you say you rolled out, do you mean you sold the calls at a loss, but reinvested at a later strike date?oldarmy1 said:

Bought a bunch of RCL 120P weeklies. Betting that they miss on guidance due to Coronavirus effect.
Whose with me?! lol

Good luck. It bounced hard off its 200 dma. I'll watch you from the cheap seats.
Thinking of going in on some weekly AIMT calls...
This morning RCL announced that they expect the virus to result in a loss of $0.10/share earnings for FY20, with an additional $0.10/share if travel restrictions go past February.aggiedaniel06 said:

Speaking of bouncing off the MA, TSN looks to be forming a hammer off its 200 EMA.Prognightmare said:

Typical Fed day BS. Pop on the Fed release, then decline decline decline as Powell speaks and puts his own foot in his mouth
Yeah, I had seen that and they moved the earnings call to Feb 4. The premiums for next friday, post earnings are nasty. I'll look into selling a call spread.
That was because he said that "asset prices are a bit inflated". Not as bad as Greenspan's "irrational exuberance", but not an ideal endorsement for equities.
Exactly....versus risking the strike price getting too far away - combined with having 65% of the initial purchases price in value, I take the loss and use the remaining dollars to buy a put out a week. So if I had 100 calls at $3 and they dropped to $2.01 then I sell the 100 calls and go out a week using that same remaining money to buy 64 calls. Money is the same and if it hits a major run up your investment still wins.spud1910 said:Still learning here, so please help me to understand.

TECK reversal....all the way back from 70 cents down to green
SDC $13.85
I like the slow build....keeps shorts guessing and then suddenly you're buried.

AH should be fun with ALGN reporting.....

"I had it in her mouth and her momma walked in".
Is the line of thinking here that if they report good numbers it's good for SDC since they supply them and can sell directly now?
It's going to be interesting to see if SDC is going to take market share aggressively from ALGN. SDC is now able to sell to orthodontist's and can secure deals with people like Walmart.
Edit to add about AIMt: I know a kid going through this treatment concept and it works for him. Incredible.

ALGN down 7% AH
MSFT is unstoppable. Best CEO of the past decade?
I'm heavy in SDC shares now, doubled down on the shorts dip yesterday. I suppose at this point, wait until it breaks 15 to trim any?oldarmy1 said:

tempted to hold all... there's more volume in $21C 4/17 than the 15C
14's and 14.50 are popular for this Friday.
Beat, up 6% ah. LRCX up 4%leoj said:
Anyone still looking at NOW? I know it's been on the boards radar before, looks like a real good setup right now
