Anyone investing heavily this year??

[Dirty Hubcaps]

I went down the rabbit hole of videos on options trading and none ever got to the point of what I searched for. So, if any one can answer this question for me, and you make YouTube videos you should create on specifically for my question. You’d get tons of views because nobody seems to simply it.

What happens to your money when you miss on a trade? Meaning, if I buy a PUT, and i am wrong, how much money do I lose? Is it just the amount I spent to buy it? That last of the videos I watched said to buy 100 shares at $1.45 = $145 invested. Now, my question is if the stock doesn’t do anything I wanted it to do by the date, do I only lose the $145?

I hope that question makes sense because I assumed that if I think a $10 stock is going to $9 by a specific date, that if it doesn’t I have to buy the 100 shares for $1000.

morning bro.

when you miss on a trade, meaning that the trend doesn't go in the direction of your strike price (whether its a call or a put) it expires worthless & the seller keeps the premium you paid for the option. for you, if you buy a call or a put, the only thing on the line for you is the premium you paid. you're not obligated to do anything, which is why its called an OPTION. you have the option to buy the shares or you have the option to sell the contract to someone else

Thanks. I watched a few more videos after my post and nobody said that shit. I own shares outright but never tapped into options. I watch a ton of stocks and haven’t bought because j know they are going lower, or because I can’t buy 100 shares of a Netflix or Tesla but I always know they are going to pull back. My lady was bugging me about Rivian and Lucid and I told her why I wouldn’t buy right now. I didn’t buy Puts because I was worried I would owe $5000 if it didn’t fall within the time range. But if I was willing to risk several hundred dollars on $3-5 options because they each dropped 20% sooner than I said they would.

If you are asking these questions options trading is not for you. It is way too soon to be trading options.

Not too soon to learn. Everyone starts somewhere and typically begins with questions.

Cash flowing rental properties that have all increased in equity.

Throw in a little more income made on tax write-offs and low interest equity loans for better or more lucrative investments.

That's great. My wife is eyeing a 3/2 now. You doing section 8?

I have in the past with 2 of my properties, they're townhouses in lower income areas though..

If you are a 1st time landlord, I wouldn't recommend doing section 8 for your 1st property. Especially if that property is a 3/2 house in a decent to good area where you can get better quality tenants and rent.

Funny you said this because I see new landlord in the tri-state running for section 8 tenants.

I should have put a disclaimer to what I said about not rushing to get section 8 tenants if you live in a landlord friendly state.

I live in Texas which is very landlord friendly. The tri state area isn't landlord friendly so it makes more sense to get that guaranteed rent every month instead of dealing with a tenant who can run game and not pay rent for up to a year.

That is where it's at for me too. Our primary residence went from 350 to 650 in 6 years, so we did a refinance and payed off one of our rentals. Now I only have 1 rental with a mortgage, but I owe 480 and its worth 1.2.

My stocks, 401k and crypto and doing just ok.

Buy the dip!! Its called long-term investing for a reason!

 

[Flawless]

Anyone notice almost every youtuber made a video this weekend about how they sold off their stocks because of market crash fears?

These same people were talking about holding the line and buying the dip, yet the second they get scared they sell.
Everyone was a stock expert when the market was just going up in 2020

So many bag holding small caps, that's why. A sell off in MSFT is welcomed, but CHPT, not so much.

not a lot of people have the testicular fortitude to actually hold

Yes but this only apply to someone who bought at the top and never invested another dollar.

Anyone think now would be a good time to buy Netflix or Amazon stock with how much it's dropped over the past few days? Same with ethereum or bitcoin?

Be careful with these fake bullish breakouts.
