Chance-Albatross7809

U can see where -MOST- of them are by looking at the open interest on the options chain. Largest OI on puts for Jan 2027 are $1 (10.5k OI) followed by $8(3.75k OI) and lastly $15 (1.84k OI) This is just for one EXP date, this theme continues across many.

Imaginary_Agent_9123

If they go all the way to the EXP Date, they have to take delivery. Am I right?

Bought a MSFT $420 Call EXP 6/5 yesterday at 3pm. Hoping to see some gains on Tuesday 💪

SlowDuhh_808

Just wait till the EXP. That stands for Equal Xerox Payout. It should copy right to your account and you’re good to go! Just make sure you slide the bar all the way to the right everyday by market close.

I already exited Friday. Those are the trade confirmations I posted. If you look at the INTC share lots: I was holding those since 4/22/2010 but this trade was executed on Friday's EXP to match my sold calls. I didn't have a stop. I sold $85 calls so my mental number to sell was $85. I had 500 shares and sold 5 calls. Every dollar I gained above $85 on INTC shares I also lost on the INTC sold calls.

This morning I bought 50 Archer $6.50 calls EXP next Friday. Things did NOT turn around.

youbenchbro

I bought 10x June 5th EXP BNO $53 target puts. I figure there will be some smoothing over out of the China visit, in which case I will sell, then I will buy calls for when military action resumes.

…… I’m actually confused on how you lost money. Did you sell within seconds of market open? It went up 30% on EXP date.

I bought puts EXP 1 week out when things hit ATH. They went pretty red but who knows may work out. Bought a cheap OTM call as the market closed just in case.

what EXP?

Been holding $85C 5/15 EXP for RKLB not sure if I should hold

OfTheTrees91

Deeper ITM longer EXP. I run a dealership, this cant last forever. Stellantis already capped how many locations they can purchase, 1 per year. Look at lithia for example, the run a similar operation with their dealerless online service “driveway”. LAD is one of the top dealer groups and their profitability is 50% less than carvana. The bubble will bust.

Well if you had bought CVNA $460P EXP 6/18 the day I wrote it, you would have had made 170% by March 20, 2026. And even if held till now it still would have been a 60% return. Now not to be extreme that is better than VOO for me. But regardless you can do whatever you want:)

youbenchbro

I bought INTC $64 target puts, EXP next Friday.

$720c 4/24 EXP

youbenchbro

I held INTC $60 target puts over the weekend. EXP the day after earnings. Intel hasn't really been affected by the war. In fact it has mooned during it. I still think it will go down because it gained too much too quickly.

guhhhh_MU

Never too late to buy OTM Micron Calls with expiration in a few months. Position: MU $500C EXP 7/17/26

SocraticGoats

Full time option seller here. Selling OTM can absolutely wreck you. Pennies in front of a steam roller. That said, it's all more or less the same over thousands of occurrences because options are priced nearly perfectly. Less premium, lower chance of the option holding value to exp... more premium, higher chance it will cost to buy back. Also, as for being assigned, you can always buy it back before EXP. And if you are selling on tickers naked and not cash settled options, buy protective wings...

gkdjsl

CALL AVGO 350.00 EXP 04-17-26 I say that but I'm going to hold and watch them continuously burn

Critical_Concert_689

> You’ll be up $46k then lol. OP - who's about to lose all his money - absolutely wrecked you on this. It's MUCH closer to an $8k change (417 to 425 intrinsic). Almost no value is coming from intrinsic when your EXP is so far away. Have you EVER bought LEAPS in your life?

Frozen_Shades

EXP?

DesperateMouse7097

I drafted a response to this at market open suggesting a close or roll.... and then everything in my world caught itself on fire. So!... I'm closing out tabs for the day and I'm back here. How secure is your financial position 'In Life?' If you can swing it, then you should take assignment on these and wait until next week to sell Covered Calls on them \[2/20 EXP around .30 delta should make you profitable assuming IREN recovers above $45\]. Everything is swell here except for today's shit show. it's a complete unwinding everywhere I look and I can't find any correlation... Energy prices??? Is the Bitcoin trading at 1:10 inverse to Oil futures? what is happening. Bottom line is this. There is no pending news that reverses this drop. It's a bear move. It also tracks that they will turn the USD printing press on and mint out some new trillions in the next week or two which should bolster US Equity prices (and energy prices!)

SpicyPanda27

RKLB bleeding out the asshole, BUT THESE CALLS WILL EXPIRE DEEP ITM AT EXP TMRW

JakeSal10

Just bought 3 $60 IREN calls with 2:13 EXP

Langly1087

I personally believe in $HOOD. The product is great, and young retail traders will keep going to it more than other products. Add in everything they are working on and I think this is still a great investment. My $110 calls with a March 20th EXP might be cooked, but im long term on the shares. Probably gonna DCA myself. Both my shares and calls. If the market starts to turn around at all, $HOOD will easily Go back up to ATHs imo. There's just so much going for it.

Difficult_Physics704

Damn ouch. Luckily its a September EXP

JakeSal10

ONDS calls with 1-2 month EXP are juicy rn

I have 10x INTC $45 target calls EXP Feb 13th. Kind of thinking of selling at open if $46 holds and taking a good profit. Might hold three or four depending on how it looks in the morning.

On top of having puts, I got lotto INTC $65 target calls for $0.51, EXP Jan 30th. They're already up 15%.

Old_Beyond_2095

When is your EXP

youbenchbro

I keep winning on fast INTC puts. Like yesterday I bought $49.50 target EXP Jan 16 when it hit $50 at open. An hour later it hit $47.92 and I sold. It's been volatile as hell.

youbenchbro

At the dip I loaded up on ACHR $7.50 calls EXP Jan 9th.

Substantial_Deer_353

I bought 20k worth them paper handed for 15% profit. Could’ve been 50% today, it was like FEB EXP cons.

I got $44 calls EXP June. I guess you’ll be fine.

youbenchbro

I'm having way better luck with 30 days out EXP, but I still flip them quick.

Moves I posted earlier were all great moves: Bought AMD at $196.50. Bought DUOL at $168.80. Bought GOOGL puts $320 EXP Dec. 12th. My port is green.

youbenchbro

Bought AMD at $196.50. Bought DUOL at $168.80. Bought GOOGL puts $320 EXP Dec. 12th.

MAkrbrakenumbers

Yes and no just depends on how fast they get AI driven cars into service and if it’s before your EXP date

Fishherr

Okay this is what really happened. The MM had to push NVDA to $200 for the $200 Friday Call strikes to go INTM before Friday EXP. The MM failed to do so, so the IV crush on all those OI contracts sent those positions into losses. Instead of trying to hold out, people would close early to minimize profit losses in a negative GEX environment. Or get stop lossed out. The double edge sword of that is, since all those calls bleed out at a loss, the MM has to buy that back as shorts as the $200 Zone acts as resistance. Now you’re under $180 close going into op-ex and that’ll act as resistance now as well, until proven otherwise. So you have a bearish divergence.

PNWPlayZ

QQQ 650C's 1/2 EXP are on sale Also selling Covered Calls on HOOD/RDDT EXP 12/12 (3 weeks with TG holiday, should be eating some theta)

i was ready to let the shares get called away so probably riding these out till EXP at the end of the year. Will roll em or buy back if the price is right.

ComprehensiveAge8990

should i sell for $405 TSLA puts at 50% gain or keep holding EXP tomorrow

ayashifx55

got 665C EXP today, yesterday. Sold when spy was +0.9%, didnt hold till the top +1.1%. I didnt make much because they dumped it yesterday at 15h before EOD.

youbenchbro

I'm 60% cash, 5% INTC 36 calls EXP Dec 5th, and 35% DUOL at hopefully the bottom ($173).

NullOneCapital

$SOXS OTM CALLS EXP 11/28 will PRINT.

Jackiemoontothemoon

When you buy a deep ITM LEAP, it acts as if you are controlling 100 shares of the stock at a fraction of the price. I'm not sure what OP's strike or EXP date is, but he bought 595 SPY LEAPS. For every LEAP you hold, you can sell an OTM call against your LEAPS. They act like a covered call, except it's much more capitol friendly. Which is why it's called a Poor Man's Covered Call, because as you can see from some of the responses in this post, people are wondering if OP is loaded asf to be able to sell 595 calls on SPY. If you want a much better and detailed explanation on this trade, check out this video from "In The Money", probably the best teacher of options on YouTube.

Guys, someone buy my 3x Archer 11 calls EXP today for a penny. I don't want to see it anymore.

Electronic-Buyer-468

What EXP?

ChicagoanPizza

You need a .5%+ move and for it to get ITM, probably by tomorrow to be able to break even/profit. Every day after you'll need more of a gain due to theta, you probably need SPY at $683-$684 at EXP to profit/BE. That's very possible, but no one knows what will happen. No disrespect at all, but you seem rather inexperienced, why are you playing these short term risky moves?

Bubbly-Bug9776

I like this debate I've been going over this internally recently. Here's shat I've got: Spreads are better most of the time, and my best trades are on stocks I wouldn't mind owning/ taking assignment on a CSP. Let me use an example on a trade I've got this week. I'm writing a Credit Put Spread on UUUU 15/18 EXP 10/21. The premium here is solid around $.90, and a good risk/return on the $300 max loss per contract in my eyes. I like the stock long term at $18 or below, and so I'm tempted to write the CSP, but writing the spread keeps both avenues open. Here is the decision tree now: 1. UUUU closes at $19, spread expires worthless, I keep premium of $90 on $300 risk over 21 days. Good, solid ROI and what I was initially cool with. 2. Terrible news unfolds and UUUU drops to $14 at expiry. This news has changed my whole thesis, and the price has gone too low for me.to successfully wheel this stock in the short term. I take max loss at $300/contract and move on. Worst case but I was protected and I defined my risk. 3. Price dips on general market correction and UUUU is hovering around $17 a couple days before expiry. I still like the stock and wouldn't mind owning it. I'll sell my Long Put which has now gone up in price, and then let my Short puts become CSPs that get assigned. I usually get to drop my cost basis enough to still be in a profitable trade and now I'll wheel the stock. This has upped my profit considerably and I think mostly in line with what your father is saying.

Yep starting to realize the 2 or 3 day out EXP are a lot safer and more protective of your principal. You can also tolerate movement against you and wait for it to come back without feeling like you are on a sinking ship.

Bought $410 calls for EXP- September 2026 on Sept 25, i’m up almost 200% since then…

Playa4thee1

How many contracts do you have? The EXP date is not always the only reason to wait for selling. You need to lock in your profits. I just sold 5 BBAI Dec 19th options for a $1,000 profit. The other 5 contracts are ALL PAID FOR. That means they ride for free. Unrealized gains can disappear in a minute; regardless of your EXP date.

Playa4thee1

Your EXP is 12/31.. .Why da fukk would you close losing?

Playa4thee1

A few days ago I was roasted because I said I sold 5 of my 10 $8.00 options for POET. They had 11/21 EXP dates. However, I was up more than 200% and I paid off my initial investment, made a profit and kept 5 options riding for free. This is why you take profits.

Playa4thee1

Nice. I bought 10 options today and sold 5 for a nice profit and paid off all my investment. The rest I am letting ride since they have 11/21 EXP date. Already paid for so they are FREE\~\~

Playa4thee1

Congrats on your win! Glad to see you cash out and not get too greedy. I am about to sell 5 of my contracts now even though they have an 11/21 EXP.
