"Opening-Scenario" for Corona has NOTHING to do with a virus. It's a question if they are ready to push inflation or not. IF yes, also Silver is allowed to rallye.

Lions WAIT !!!

Example : AAPL OCT21 120C price was close to the day's top of 15USD when AAPL was supposed to be a "buy". Now it's at 14 and still falling and honestly, the price action looks like a falling trend. (The trend is your friend).

Why would anyone buy a call here ?!

Lions I wonder if we shouldn’t rather buy puts when he says calls. If I had done that with the trades I’m losing big now I would be rich. BABA INTC PYPL ...

The end of lockdowns will push money velocity and so inflation.

Lot of people hoping for the end of lockdowns. Told them: "Be careful what you wish for (if you are not prepared)."

Well if JPM said EUR/USD will fall THEN you could buy calls ...

USD is a dying asset by design but all currencies are devaluing together. So the parities don't move.

Handwerk / Hausbau = Craft / House building

President-Elect Zio's avatar

All currencies are devaluing together" that's correct. But the parity move. Especially Germany will be destroyed by a rising Euro. Bad for Exports, and Germany is depending on Exports very much. at this moment they are killing the Handwerk / Hausbau . No materials available and / or very expensive. So they cannot work and cannot pay their workers. Automotive will be next. Inflation and Mass Unemployment coming.

I sell at the first opportunity. It's a hot potato. Can't hold. I toss immediately and catch the other one

Until you lost all your money (on this one) or until it hits your price objective (e.g. : +10%).

Or, if it hits your stop loss. VERY IMPORTANT (e.g. : -5%).

For you to be able to wait and let the trade play out (if it does ...), you must choose at least 6 months out expiry. Also, to limit time decay, it's better to choose ITM options hence the proportion of the option's time value compared to its total value is less. But watch it, once the price of the underlying security goes beneath your strike, its price falls faster. So don't choose the strike price too close to the actual price (see also : stop loss).

You should test your ability to not be emotional and to realize Greg is a human and might be wrong. Just stay away from BABA...

You have to take a test to make sure you can type out your name and click some buttons.

I strongly recommend you get informed about how options trading works. A good way to do this is to read Greg's book.

You can lose a lot of money if you don't "get it".

Chris-F's avatar

I recommend to read it twice or more. And start SMALL (<5% of your "playing money" you'e ready to lose if it turns bad)..

One aspect of trading which is not covered enough IMO in Greg's "teachings" is risk management. I.e. : define your stop loss and closing gain level the moment you get in. Then STICK TO IT.

Yes TY, I plan for on it and making a notebook guide ,,Numerous people I talk to that trade are scared of options,,, there must be reasons

You can start with credit spreads or selling puts (if you're bearish), but selling options adds to your margin (if you sell a put you must have enough cash to buy 100 stocks at the strike price : if you sell a AAPL 120P and you don't buy it back before AAPL goes beneath 120USD then you could be assigned to buy 100 AAPL @120 USD which takes 12.000USD ...).
