Their stock has doubled in less than an hour. Only thing I can find is that they had a lot of very hard to get Nvidia videocards in stock earlier this week. Nothing that would drive a more than tripling of the stock in a couple of days. It has to be just massive FOMO now. |

Last week I was going thru a bunch of NASDAQ 100 and pulling up the tickers on Fidelities option chain to see which ones had good action and premium. I can't speak to the other broker sites/apps but I can see the chain which shows calls/puts and bid/ask and current volumes etc. to give an idea of where the action lies. |

Puts are the option to sell shares at a certain strike price. If you sell them you get a premium at the strike price you have to buy them at.
Basically you sell them for a strike you would like to buy the shares at. If the stock goes up above the strike you get the premium. If it goes down you get a discount on that strike or you can roll them out to a future date and lower your break even price. I rolled mine out to lower my break even incase someone exercised them on me. This way I'm still up on them. |

I get confused because of the buy vs. sell in the case of options I could be selling a contract call or put, correct? If I'm selling either I have the obligation (call i have to sell if they exercise & put i have to buy if they exercise) < correct?

View Quote you sell to open a put contract with a strike of 14.50 and are paid a premium of .05/share lets say for selling the contract. The purchaser of the contract now has the ability to sell you 100 shares of MVIS at 14.50, so if it dips real low they can sell at 14.50 when the stock is trading at maybe 13.50. If the stock goes up the contract will expire because no one is going to assign shares to lose money. |

View Quote Damn then if I'm long on a stock and planning to buy a dip I can use the put instead of a limit order. If the put doesn't hit strike or lower I get the premium... if it does hit I buy the shares. Not a bad approach I guess. I need to better understand this so I'll use the same approach I did with covered calls, toss some real money at one and see if I get it right. Now I just need to get approval done and then build the funds to try this approach. I'm planning to use the premiums I'm collecting from covered calls to increase my long positions on dips. This could provide more premium as I do this and still allows me to buy the dip. It's impossible to ever predict these bottoms anyway so I would prefer to know my entry point. |

View Quote That's the beauty of selling puts. You get to pick your entry point at a discount. You think you are at the bottom of the dip but not sure you can sell in the money puts. And if it dips more you can roll them out to the next month. You are going to get the shares at the price you want if you keep rolling. If it rebounds you keep the premium and get the shares too if you stay under the strike. If not you just get the premium. You can always roll down your break even as long as no one exercises on you or the company goes bankrupt. |

The only problem I see is if I need to roll then I need settled funds so I can buy to close for the roll...

Pick where you are willing to buy it. If you are very bullish you can sell deep in the money ones. If you are afraid it's going to drop more sell out of the money ones. It's not a fast money maker but it's extremely low risk unless you are selling them on crazy Meme stocks. |
