When trading in a Roth IRA do you not get hit with taxes on stock trades unless you pull the money out?

Strictly speculation on my part with this one, but I picked up XOM 1/15/21 $50C for $1.50. XOM at $35/share is ludicrous and this seemed like a decent risk/reward play

dont you think grubhub and doordash business will go through the roof with the panic?

Interesting. Thanks for the response. I'm trying to learn more about options overall.

Question for anyone in general that knows. If you exercise on a call LEAP, is the ownership period based on the date you exercise the option or the date you bought the option? That obviously impacts how long you have to hold the shares to get the lower tax rate.

I know I'm asking a lot of questions currently so sorry about that, but wanting to make sure I understand correctly.

When DIS was around $107, you paid a $3.40 premium for the option to sell Disney at $90 anytime between 3/9 and 4/17 and essentially someone paid you $10.80 today for the right to buy that option from you since they think it will end up dropping below $79.20 prior to 4/17? That's their break even point now?

He paid 340$ for the right to sell 100 Disney shares on 4/17 for 90$.

The speculation that caused the purchaser to buy is that Disney will drop below that breakeven point.

Thanks. The break even point for the purchaser though would be $72.90, correct ($90 - $10.80)? And they can sell at any point prior to 4/17 as well? 4/17 is just the latest date they can sell at that price since that's the expiration.

Any other thoughts on how Trump's presser is gonna end up? Have some SPY 3/16 265 Calls that I can't decide what to do with. Up some now but might rip if he announces an agreed upon stimulus bill

If I want to buy puts against a casino due to sports book exposure, which casino brings in most of their cash domestically? I don't want Macau exposure.

Math looks right to me. They can sell the contract itself any time before expiration to reap profits on the contract alone. Lots of options traders never let a contract get to expiry.

Is a 3/16 SPY $240 to $270 strangle too wide?

If I were to open a new strangle position, I'd want to do it before Trump's announcement right? 3/16 SPY 265C / 245P, or is that too wide?
