A lot can happen in 3 days![]()
Here's something that's been bothering the hell out of me with options. The above is a screen shot i got today(9/1) for NIO. If i'm reading this correctly for the very first call it reads
1) Strike price of $15.00
2) Premium price to purches it at 4.70*100 or $470
3) Exprires 9/4
If that's correct then why the hell wouldn't i buy that call right now with $NIO being at almost $20 dollars? The contract expires in 3 days...
WHAT AM I MISSIN?

You can sell the contract. I thought you were talking about exercising it. Either way you’re risking a lot for a small gain. Say it stayed at $20 and you exercised it at $15. You paid $470 for that option. So you risked $470 to make $30. That’s not a good risk to reward ratio.Why wait 3 days? My understanding is you can close the position on your option at anytime before the expiration date. If that's correct then why not buy this contract and dump it a few minutes-hours later and profit of the strike price minus the current stock price?

Isn't that the general trend with the majority of options contracts? The risk/rewards is always going to look terrible. The premium you pay for the contract is always higher than the potential reward...no?
Possible? Yes.
Probably? Nope.
Look at the Market Cap, % Held by Institutions, and the Short Interest. With this split, they now have the backing of millions more retail investors who have been dying to get a piece of the action. If TSLA crashes, then the entire market crashes.
Not really. I paid 350 for an Apple contract yesterday and sold it for a 350 profit today. The likelihood that Apple would go up $4+ on the week that they split was much higher and less risky than a volatile NIO stock.
Is that a premium you found weeks-months in advance of the Apple split?
Markets are being propped up by the feds
They wont be able to print forever...
Battery Day is 9/22. I just need to hold until then.
Yeah ... I holding APPL until after it announces it's new products and software in a couple weeks and TSLA until after battery day ... bought a few more options on the pull back today
AAPL bringing out the new 5g phones. Should be a good run up, which hopefully leads to an even better earnings call(s).
Word on the street is they’re launching their own network. Don’t know the validity of this but...AAPL bringing out the new 5g phones. Should be a good run up, which hopefully leads to an even better earnings call(s).
They just got added to the DOW.After doing a bit of research I came across a company called Honeywell International Inc. (HON). About a week or 2 ago their stock was at $156. Today it closed at $167.97. Might be worth taking a look at.
Or maybe it's one of those stocks that's gone as high as it will go. I'm still trying to figure this shit out mayne.

YesI had to google what that meant. You think they're worth keeping an eye on?
My watchlist for today:
PM-
$FLDM (I'm buying the dip)
Update...many bought in at high price. Many are holding the bag...lowering the price. I would just watch for now. Ran to $12.45.
Options
$CRM - I expect it to Gap up/Down and sell off a bit at open and then it will run. I'm going to wait the first couple of mins and try to see if you can get a decent contract further OTM. (Cashed out)
$MSFT 225 Calls 9/4 - This stock has been running, both AMD and MSFT have been lagging and now it looks like the stock is moving in anticipation for J Powell. (didnt pull the trigger)
$AMD 90 Calls 9/11 (didnt pull the trigger)
$HON 09/11 175C - My risky play. I think there will be increased buying on this stock just like CRM had a gain, CRM had an additional catalyst which was their earnings. (Waiting for things to settle)
Watch for these 3 stocks; if they weren't on your radar...$CRM should at least be intriguing enough to add these to your watchlist $HON and $AMGN.

Yes! And i re-started this thread telling brothas to buy $TSLA. You can look it up.Is it possible that Tesla is overvalued and could come crashing?
