On the topic of oil, I bought some USO calls for January 2021 today. I basically need the stock to reach ~$4 by next January to make some profit.

It seems we are all pretty confident the market is going to tank again. Unless you are confident there is still gains to be made and you can target when to exit effectively, any reason not to just...

if you print enough dollars, the value of the dollar deflates versus other currencies/goods/standards.

if it suddenly takes 1200 jesusbucks to buy a gallon of gas, we are essentially...

I guess people have started getting $1200 checks. Should we expect a market boost Monday from this?

whats the strike price?[/QUOTE]

280. I sold at 278 and small profit after juice. Could have sold at 276 for a pretty good profit, but got greedy.

when do your options expire?


im confident enough in my technicals to put money on this; i think spy hits 260 around the 27th.

edit: not 17th.[/QUOTE]

April 9th

So what is the takeaway?

Timber!

2780 isn’t going to hold[/QUOTE]

Back up to 277. What normally happens at the end of the day. Should I get out with a small profit or let it ride till the end?

Edit: Never mind. ...

Just shot below 277 and still sinking. This is certainly getting interesting.

Go short - I dare you[/QUOTE]

I bought a put at 280 a couple hours ago. Time for the free fall.

If I lose I can rationalize that it is still way less than I probably would have lost sports...

So what time should I expect the market to suddenly plummet so I don't lose all my $$?

Yeah, I did a couple SPY day puts. Not really working out so far.

So if they never get in the money I just do nothing and let them expire, right?

I have an option newb question. If I want to place an order to buy an option now (after hours) that expires in 2 days should I do time in force: day or GTC?

Or does it not really matter?

Options are insurance. They have a premium for the privilege. Generally, they suck.

You don’t have to hit the number you are guessing. The closer things get to your number the more your...

Whats your gut how it goes?

Please don't do this.

Market is forward looking, always think about the market looking 9-12 months ahead, so it's priced for where we think we will be at then (it's not a perfect way to look at...

I just started messing around in the stock market. Not down with all the terminology yet, so bear with me.

I am thinking of doing a 2 month put on SPY @273. Is that enough time for the...

My father in law bought a bunch of Delta at the low point a couple weeks ago. I guess they don't have a lot of debt so they were regarded as safe. It is around even now from then, maybe a little...

I am a finance noob, but love me a good gambool.

If I think this is a fake surge and we are going to bottom out again, how do I go about betting this? I don't mind gamboling it up a little and...

You should cash out asap, and it has nothing to do with what I think is going to happen in the market (because nobody knows that anyway). You're going to have to take a tax hit at some point anyway....

I have a serious finance question tangential to this thread.

I have about $10k in high interest credit card debt. I have some stock market investments I can take out to pay off the debt, that I...
