Nice set up! I'm in with this PROG


Damnit! Not enough capital to keep up with the OA bat signal
Hahaha. Just pick the set ups you really like. You can't be in everything! My top OA picks are

1. WWR - MA
2. FTCH calls
3. NIO calls

Did you jump in VIAC calls? If that thing goes Hallelujah
Which VIAC calls are you in?

I'm in alllll of VIAC haha. Had the leaps, yesterday I took OA1 advice on calls $5 otm 30-45 days out and I have shares.

I'll test something picked up from Ranger222 when he called his shot on HEAR. There were buyout rumors and that pushed HEAR straight up for almost a month. Hoping to ride the rumors like this with VIAC.

I'm learning!

Looking at VIAC, they dropped from 95ish to 41ish the week of 3/23-3/26. Was that the Archegos hedge fund blowup?

Question on risks.

Earlier today, based on the alerts for RIG I sold 1 Nov $5p and for each of 2x Nov $7 calls purchased, yielding a a net credit of of $0.94. This seemed like a reasonable strategy if we expect it to run. As I'm reading, this is apparently called a synthetic long position, though one might usually use the same strike for both options. What I'm reading states that this offers unlimited profit potential but also unlimited risk. I'm not following the second part.

The questions:

- if the strike is $5, and there was a credit of $0.94 per put, the maximum loss should be $3.06. That would be the case if the stock goes to zero. Am I missing something?

- this seems like a pretty reasonable and some what risk-mitigated strategy for a low strike option (ie, I don't think I'd do this with SPY). This seems especially true if I like the stock, right?

- assuming I'm not wrong on the second question, shouldn't we be doing this regularly for the MA stocks like WWR?

You sold 2 calls and 1 put? That's how I'm reading it. Sounds like you sold naked calls with unlimited risk.
cisgenderedAggie

No, I see your point and fixed the error. I sold 1 put for every 2 calls bought. I'm not authorized to sell naked.

I sold a **** ton of WWR $5 Aug and Nov puts as well as $12.50 Nov. I used those proceeds to buy $2.50 Aug calls.

The biggest thing to remember is you have to have enough cash on hand or margin balance to cover those naked puts.

When WWR hits $20 I hope it's before football season so we can see if they will sponsor a tailgate for the Bama game this year. Would be epic to have a WWR sponsored tailgate for our continued support of the company.

Yes I realize we could probably buy Kyle Field when it hits $20, but would prefer to celebrate with a WWR flag flying high next to an Aggie flag. We can raise the WWR flag to the same height as the Aggie flag just for that day!

You sold $12.50 Puts?

When it dipped below $4 last month, I bought AUG $2.50 calls and also sold Aug $5 puts. So I'm right in there with you on all those. But curious about your reasoning behind the $12.50 puts?

eta: I'm not questioning the trade....just trying to learn. You are way more experienced than I am, so genuinely interested to understand the through process.

Max loss would be $4.06 per contract if the stock goes to $0. Risk is limited because the stock can't go below $0.

This is an okay strategy IMO, but I'd look for input from OA, 30k, or FJ

That wasn't my initial plan, but when I was selling puts a while back I saw the premiums on those was really high. I believe around or over $9. I only sold 20 but difficult to pass up, especially with an expectation of a q3 or q4 run.

When WWR hits $20, OA is flying us all down to Baker's Bay on his G6 to play golf.

I think this is a solid strategy if you want to give yourself the potential for a home run. Your risk is that RIG goes under $3.70, but even if it did, you could probably sell calls against it. This strategy is referred to as "bullish risk reversal".

Saying differently, you're going to be really annoyed substantially under $3.70 or at like $6.5. If Rig explodes, though, this could be a killer trade.

I like it... I noticed someone doing this on ELOX, out to November. The 7.50 puts I believe, although now that I just looked I don't see any volume on those. I may be getting tickers confused too, need more beer

A other spin on the "Net Free" approach. Decided to use proceeds from winners to buy 1,000 shares of WWR. Plan to do the same with cash over a certain number. When cash settles over "x" use delta to buy MA stocks.

We have one every home game with liquor fountain and coolers of beer. Got a smoker trailer for meat to be cooked on.

I'm happy to host.

We will also be tailgating in Denver for the CU game.
