for options, you can buy or sell them. in this example, you are only asking about buying. for all option types, there is the "strike price", and the premium. think of the "strike price" as the "target price" for the "option contract to become valid". for options, there are CALL and PUT options. from above, you said "CALL option, at $150 strike price, premium $1.23". 99% of the time, an option will represent 100 shares of the stock. the strike price will always be just that number listed, $150. but the premium listed, will always be times 100, because 100 shares is the default amount of shares nearly all option contracts are made with. ok, CALL option, at $150 for $1.23. for the 100 shares, this will cost you $123 to buy this option contract. you didn't mention the expiration date. after the expiration date, this will let you buy 100 shares, at $150 each, at market close. if the stock is less than $150, you wouldn't do that. if the stock is more than $150, congrats, you will have made money. > Max Cost $1.23 x 100 multiplier x 10 contracts $0.03 regulatory fees per contract wait, you had TEN, 10, option contracts selected? that would be 1000 shares then. if the stock finished above $150, it would try to exercise and your account would try to buy 10 x 100 shares x $150 = $150,000 worth of TSM stock. I DON'T THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO DO THAT. ALTERNATIVELY, if you bought the call, you can re-sell it before it expires. you are buying it right now for $1.23 for 1 option. but lets say the stock goes to $170. the CALL option would then increase in value a lot. it might go up to something like $30, for just the value of the call option. you could then turn back around, and sell it, before it expires. you'd sell just the call option back and make $(30 -1.23) x 100 = $2877 in profit its not a guarantee it sells though. you can put a sell order in, and then someone out there has to agree to buy it.

Over time the S&P will only go up. You're super young, DON'T TOUCH THAT MONEY for at least 20 years. The market is simply correcting. The other day I invested in a few companies I've been eyeing for awhile. I'm already at a (minimal) loss but I plan on holding them for at least 5 years - with their purpose being me keeping my money in S&P for as long as humanly possible - therefore my loss isn't phasing me at all.

What advice can we give since you already bought them? You own them. Look at the Greeks or at simulated returns and figure out when your options are most likely to be the most lucrative, and sell them then. But biggest piece of advice - NEVER BUY OPTIONS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. Every single buy you should have a very clear goal and an exit strategy. What you’re doing is how you lose thousands of dollars.

Trying to go **from** Fidelity **to** Schwab, right? Make sure you DON'T hold "Fidelity Zero" funds, or anything that's "Class K" shares of a fund; those can ONLY be held in a Fidelity account and can't be transferred out. SO, whatcha gotta do is swap them for transferrable funds. Convert the Class K shares to Class A shares **of the same fund**; no problem. Swap the "Zero" funds for their public equivalents. Etc... Oh, and how are you attempting the transfer: "push" from Fid, or "pull" to Schwab? Good rule of thumb is **always** submit your transfer request / ppw to the **receiving** firm, and have them "pull" the shares -- AFTER you've verified that they're transferable, of course.

You're learning the same lesson many of us learned over the last 15-20 years. Tech is all that matters. If any tech stock is down, you buy. If it's down big, buy more. Be overweight in tech. Hell, don't even buy anything but tech. 'Diversification' is boomer shit that will do nothing for you in today's market. Whenever I hear someone talk about their portfolio and sector weights, I just roll my eyes. Oh, industrials? DON'T tell me more. If you did nothing but buy Apple, Google, and Amazon for the last 20 years, you'd outperform everything. Sorry for the rant, I hate my former investment advisors.

I think a better way to say this is: “you should only buy deep OTM when you really know WTF you are doing!” (Or are a degen gambler 😜) They work the exact same way, but the extrinsic factors have a LOT more effect. Now, you are getting deep into Greeks etc., and can end up well and truly screwed. If you DO know what you’re doing, and it is appropriate to your scenario, multiples of deep OTM strikes can give you fabulously cheap delta and allow you to better exploit IV. But if you are the target audience of this thread, DON’T DO IT.

If my first play judgment was wrong, there’s something about the market/stock that I’m missing at that point 95% chance my judgement on the “savior” play will also be wrong.

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING unfortunately. The overall state of the global economy and how it has its' affect, trends, trading the chart that is infront of you and understanding that anything news related doesn't matter, the 50% rule, chart patterns. Risk management is the biggest thing though really, and what this all boils down to. Then we also have indicators and how to individually read them. Stochastic RSI, Bollinger Bands, Wave trend, Moving Averages, 9 count, etc. This is all just math/numbers tracking eachother, so I'm really surprised people don't see how accurate they actually are. People just STILL don't know how to read them. Also understanding that A.I. is trading against/with all of us, so it's generally wise to just do what they're doing. If big money/A.I. are selling, then you probably should. And vise-versa. Overall, it's understanding that our opinions' just DON'T MATTER, and us putting money down IS OUR OPINION.

oldguy19500

DON’T DO IT! Learn about options before you start trading them or you will find yourself in an undesirable situation or possibly loosing money. Depending on what you do. Specifically don’t mess with stock you want to keep. Obviously you are doing well with your current position so leave it alone. Read up on options create a paper account and practice.

Exactly. This argument is so dumb because if cops smell alcohol you are getting breathalyzed so why would it be any different for smelling weed? Make sure the driver is sober and deny a search since it is legal. Simple, but no people are upset that they can be arrested for driving under the influence or having the smell of marijuana be a precursor to finding a more serious offense. DON’T LET YOUR WHIP SMELL LIKE STRAIGHT GAS & YOU WON’T HAVE A PROBLEM LOL.

I don't know about "quick," but most platforms have conditional orders that trigger on a wide range of prices: same stock, a different stock, an index, etc. The list of brokers that DON'T have conditional orders is the short list. Robinhood notably does not support conditional orders, but WeBull does (to a limited extent). Some brokers that support conditional orders don't support conditionals on option orders, only stock orders, so you need to confirm that the conditionals you want are on option orders. SL+TP are called bracket orders. So you need conditional orders that can be structured as a bracket order, or an OCO, which is effectively the same thing. That might be more difficult to find. Usually brokers have bracket orders/OCO and they have conditional orders, but you may not be able to combine them into a conditional bracket order.

I think the real-world test is, How many people out there are actually DOing this? If it were the yellow brick road, the route to guaranteed riches, don't you think that smarter people than us would be shouting it from the rooftops, or at least selling seminars on the process? > just an undergrad finance 101 theory Nahh, I wouldn't relegate it to -that- dustbin necessarily. But I do cling to the belief that *"If it were easy, everybody would do it"* -- and we just DON'T see that. ---- OK, even that isn't entirely true. I'm retired, and my FA and his tech guy have got me diversified across a dozen funds -- roughly corresponding to large caps (growth and value), mid-caps, small-caps, international, emerging, ... etc, including several types of bond funds. * Overall, we maintain a certain stock/bond/cash ratio. * Quarterly, we sell «something» to create my "allowance" for the next months. * And we usually DO that by selling that sector/subsector that has outperformed the others, the one that's now overweight -- something that you CANNOT do by owning ONLY a total market fund and/or a global fund. This "finer-grained" approach seems to be working, while simultaneously to lower my overall equities exposure. What would have happened if I did that during the accumulation phase, instead of VTIAX and chill? I have no idea.

> I still have some hope, but man, I totally understand the pessimism. > > > > Unbridled optimism would be the thing I DON'T get. I feel like investors here could really benefit from taking a step back and doing a bit of self reflection. So many here are in so deep to the sunk cost fallacy that they can't think beyond "oh boy its coming and when it does, its gonna be great". Admitting mistakes goes a real long way in life and doubling down on poor decisions because you're so sure that you're right is a quick way to be way to emotionally invested. This sector is risky, uncertain, and volatile as fuck. I imagine most people here as talking to their small child while the world is burning saying "don't worry, it'll be OK, it'll all work out". Even if it does all work out, it seems like just serious copeium.

My guess? People are starting to feel like it might not ever happen because, despite all the good stuff that *could* happen, it feels like the government will continue its torpid pace until all our shares are near worthless due to progress being derailed by a trump presidency part deux or the sense that democrats will just keep weed a carrot like they did protecting roe v wade. I think a lot of hope was placed on 2024 because we thought political pressure would yield results. But we're in March and we've heard more or less nothing from qualified sources and with bags these heavy it's understandable the squirrely-ness is increasing. I still have some hope, but man, I totally understand the pessimism. Unbridled optimism would be the thing I DON'T get.

WalkApprehensive1014

I trade the market daily and have done so for a while now. You start by saying that ‘many big players are selling stocks’ - asset managers (big players) are always doing a certain amount of both selling AND buying; since tech has had a big run recently, there has indeed been some selling there simply due to a desire to lock in profits rather than because they think ‘things will keep falling until the election’. It’s also likely that a lot of that money is simply being reinvested in other market sectors. It’s just a matter of being prudent - no one ever went broke taking a profit (very favorite saying on Wall Street). Sorry to say this, but your notion that the big players have a plan to sell stocks now, invest that money in ‘high yield savings accounts’ (there’s no such thing) and then wait for the economy to be ‘down’ to buy stocks again, is just silly - they DON’T know for sure what’s going to happen in a year anymore than you or I do. No one knows to a certainty what’s going to happen MONDAY, much less next year! I don’t profess to have any sort of ultimate expertise in economic matters - and you should be wary of anyone who says THEY do. There are many factors at play when you’re trying to determine what’s driving the something as huge and complicated as the U.S. - and global - economies (you ALWAYS have to keep the ‘global’ aspect in mind). I hope that this response has been helpful. And keep in mind that while Reddit does offer a number of forums dedicated to economics, the stock market, trading and investing, etc., that can help you to learn/understand, it will definitely be helpful to just begin to read the business section of any major daily newspaper, and then just build on that.
