Time horizon - from 1 day to 4 weeks. Capital preservation? - if i was into cap preservation, id put my money in long term ETFs. Options are for active trading, for capital growth. Sure, higher rewards means higher risks. But im comfortable with the risks, both financially and emotionally. HTH.
Note to legislatures: if you do this, also pass a capital-flight tax that's even bigger. HTH.
who, me? Bit of both. Set SL's when I go into trade, try not to move them unless my thesis changes. Have got much better at taking losses and waiting, then rebuying in lower and seeing it come back up. It's also more psychologically comfortable to actually take the loss, and derisk, then be back in profit, than stressing and then back to zero, even though it's the same thing nett. Taking the loss also reduces the risk of margin call if it keeps going lower so is a good risk-off strategy. If charts and sentiment show levelling off around my SL then I check options levels and OI (with chatgpt help) to get supports and may move SL to avoid just getting it triggered only for stock to move back up, but am trying not to do that too much. As for re-entering, I often go back in on the up momentum, and then place a SL at a value I'm happy to sacrifice (say, $100) and hope the oscillations don't trigger that as it grinds up. I tend to estimate those on the charts too - if too volatile, I wait a bit for a decent down part. And then on those re-entries, as soon as say $80 above entry, will move SL to just above buy price - so if it drops again, I lose nothing from entering too early, but if it rises then I got in ok. If you know it's going to bounce, or you have loads of margin spare, it's often best to hold and wait, but if you're edging towards margin call, then reducing risk and losing out bit is better than getting wiped out by more downward moves. Learned this the very hard way. My ideal SL strategy is set SL below current oscillations level, find reasonable evidence of upward momentum - higher lows, etc, - and buy in at the bottom of one of those oscillations, Then if it reaches top +\_ a chunk, move SL to just above cost basis, then either trailing SL up if I'm not able to monitor it and I don't think it'll be heading to ATHs any time soon, or leave the SL fixed at that breakeven point. ATM I need to do that manually.. Very rarely set TP - did on gold today as it was regularly see-sawing and was ok to trade - but did still get caught by a few changes and with orang-utan chatting I took early losses which I didn't actually need to. Instead of TPs I tend to set trailing losses. I often don't actually close out positions if I think it's about to fall either, I just set a SL just below where we currently are - sometimes it doesn't play out as I expect (often?) and it goes higher and I can benefit. If I did need to come out, then I'm only s few more $ down than I'd have been before, A good risk:reward ratio. I'm doing this in a non-tax account, so costs are on spreads and margin loans. Spreads can be high on ASTS so I do watch those - AH action is harder cos of twice the spread typically. HTH. Not saying it works - just that it's worked better than my previous strategies which essentially kept adding to positions on the way up, and adding cash to avoid margin call on the way down. Ran out of cash. This is all about living to fight another day. In a down and up day, I'd rather be a few hundred $ down at the end, having the costs of selling and rebutting later sometimes lower sometimes higher, plus costs, but having a decent cash buffer at the low point so that if we'd kept on going, I could soon have been out with a chunk of capital intact. Strategy is better than hope.

Christ the retard level is at maximum 24/7 here A market maker is there to, guess what, provide liquidity to make a market. You with me so far? How they do this is they offer prices BOTH WAYS. They say I am selling $SMOLPP stock at 70.01 and buying it at 69.99. They are making money from the 2 bp spread. They are UNIQUELY badly placed to fix the market because if they skew the price 10% above what it should be they are obliged to buy at 9.99% above what it should be, and vv. Kryptonite poisoning victims on here misread mm as market makers when actually it is short for market manipulators. They don't exist either. The sp500 is the biggest most liquid market the world has ever known. You don't lose money on it because it is rigged but because you suck dick at life. HTH
Ask chatgpt about options greeks, gamma and what it means specially for spx 0dte options. In practice, refer to chart i posted few comments above. When underlying price (SPX here) runs very fast to an otm strike price, the options contract price will spike violently. Same is other way round. When price moves away from the otm strike, contract price will exponentially decrease. You can see the volatility in the chart I posted above. Cross reference that with price action of SPX. The contract jumped from $0.2 per contract to reach a high of $2 per contract in a matter of few mins. Thats 10x growth. Think 10k->100k. And just like that it also came down and expired worthless. Non regards like selling this instead of buying it, of course we don’t do that. Regard plan of action: When you “feel” price is going to make a move towards an otm strike, and you think it will become ITM, buy the option for cheap. And see it 4x-10x, or even 100x some times…. or, this is the best part, expire worthless (highest probability). You gotta be quick with your buttons. HTH.

Super simple: The market does what it wants. HTH!
It does matter though. If you don’t care about the advisor then in some ways just doing an index fund is just as good. I left my old advisory to go to Fisher specifically because I hated my last advisor. He talked to me like I was an idiot. He never explained the rationale behind investment strategies and seemed bored by my questions. My guy at Fisher is awesome. He runs analyses for me all the time. Sends me links to things after we talk. He is helping me learn and at the same time doesn’t talk down to me. So yes, you will meet someone from the sales team first (and they may be a little hard sell) but then you’ll be assigned your advisor. If you don’t like them you can switch apparently. HTH
Congratulations. Wise of you have goals. By ticking I’m assuming you mean its in a high yield account (4%+ yield eg amex fsb, wealthfront or similar) — while you figure out what to do. Next, the market is pretty pricey right now, so I’d not “play” with stocks or go “all in” into any single asset. FWIW Buffet is sitting on largest pile of cash ever for the same reason(Google it). I’d say wait till at least next when Fed updates rates (12/18) and PCE comes out (next week). That should get you situated for next 30 days till then you should research fiduciaries and NOT financial advisors. The former are required by law to act in your best interest (latter are not). Broadly speaking, you should diversify* your assets into stocks, bonds, commodities, maybe real estate (there are real estate ETF). Further, invest consistently in the assets over time. Based on your outlook, you can use freely available tools like simplywallst (short term) or [marketcrunch.ai](https://marketcrunch.ai) HTH
It's in the business model, as you have noticed. Just keep sending paper, prepared for denial all the way up to your state insurance board's ombudsperson (whom you can copy as soon as something gets the first level of denial). The state ins board folks have seen it all, btw. They know what's going on, and after the CFPB was de-fanged all they have is the threat of the state filing a lawsuit for a pattern of denials. My best era in the Before Times for state insurance boards occurred after I found a manager of the claims dept. We went through about 20 claims with them one by one, and after they compliment how well you do your paperwork, ask if you can fax them directly. Yes, fax. Medical still runs on fax 1980s communications tech. HTH

Since you are buying, the calls are not "naked". "Naked" means you have a liability or an obligation that you do not have covered already. Since you BOUGHT that calls, you do not have an obligation if the value goes against you. If you would have SOLD these calls to open your position, you would be SHORT the calls. If the stock price went above the strike price of the calls you sold, then you would have to spend MORE money to buy the stock in order to give to the buyer if they CALLED the stock away from you. That is the definition of being "naked." What you are doing is simply buying a contract that you believe will rise in value. The only difference between buying a stock versus a call option is that the option has a time limit and will be worthless after the expiry date. HTH...

*I feel like I understand theta decay pretty well* With respect, your whole post shows that you don't. A 3 month option will always have more time value than a 1 month option. It doesn't really matter if the option is a ITM, OTM or ATM. Theta decay is the fastest the closer you get to expiry. So the 1 month option will have a higher theta decay than the 3 month option. HTH.

I have a similar problem with checking my portfolio often. Here are some things to try: * Uninstall any investing or portfolio widgets that put market information on the home page or your phone * Turn off all but the most essential alerts from your brokerage app - no "market movers" or "stock XYZABC is down 5%" getting pushed to your phone anymore, demanding your attention * If the above isn't enough, uninstall the brokerage apps entirely so you have to log in on a real computer with a browser * Automate as many transfers as you can do the money just goes where it needs to without your action - direct deposit to your HYSA, Roth IRA, brokerage, whatever. Then you can stop wondering "did I set up that transfer from my checking?" every other hour. * Disable Apple Stocks from dashboard widgets (or whatever they can it these days) so you don't see market movement information with an idle swipe or gesture. (I'm sure Microsoft has a similar desktop widget thing, turn that off too.) Basically, start by removing all reminders of the market from your daily life, especially the intrusive attention -grabbing notifications. Schedule for yourself one evening a month, or a quarter, to review the health of your portfolio. You can probably ignore it until tax time if everything is automated correctly. HTH Good luck.
Why not a 529? It can be transferred to other kids if one didn't go to college, it can be converted to a Roth IRA for the designee, and some states offer income tax deductions if you use their state plan. Maybe a 529 is more flexible than you thought? BUT, if you really don't want to do a 529, look at a UTMA or UGMA which is an investment (brokerage) account that you administer for the minor until they turn 18. You can create one at fidelity, for instance, and even invest in "slices" of sticks from the S&P 500 in increments of $5. You can use I-Bonds among with the UTMA to get the right balance of equities & bonds for your comfort level. HTH
I wouldn't exit RKLB this year unless you're already up. They have their next rocket in development, Neutron, taking a lot of capital but the first test flight will likely be early 2025. They just got a big contract with an unnamed US federal agency to build 18 satellites over five (?) years and have strong demand for their current products. They just had a successful return to flight mission with their Electron rocket after a second stage failure last September. The next 2 years _should_ be good for the company as a whole. If you couldn't tell, I have shares already and am very optimistic. I currently expect to hold long term, but I expect good returns in the near term. HTH

1 Call is equal to 100 shares of the stock. If you have 100 shares of the stock, you can sell/write 1 Call. When you sell the Call you must select the the price of the share price you’d sell the shares at, this is called the Strike Price. If you have 100 shares of a company that is currently trading at $10 per share, you could sell a Covered Call (CC) for the $12 strike price with a expiration date of 12/31/2023. When you sell the Call, the buyer pays you for the option to buy your 100 shares (1 call) which us called the Premium. You can sell the right to buy your shares but if the Strike price is reached before the option date (expiration date) then the buyer of the CC can exercise the call and take your shares for $12. HTH
I think that plan will work. 10k per calendar year of new purchases plus up to $5k of income tax refund as a paper ibond if you receive much refund. You can also purchase for your spouse in the same amounts. Then there's the "gift box" and I've read that you can buy $10k per SSN as a gift and hold it in the gift box for some number of years before transferring it. You can gift it to your future self. Buy 2023 bonds but not transfer it until 2025. I don't know all of the details but if you want to increase your holding at these rates, Google gift box work arounds. HTH

[https://imgur.com/a/NUYwNod](https://imgur.com/a/NUYwNod) PYPL weekly Chart There are a lot of different ways to make decisions in the stock market. Some people like to buy strength, as a stock price is going up, while some prefer to buy weakness, when the stock is going down or is down. There is a saying; "Gravity only works going down". That is referencing that a stock price can drop over nothing, but it usually takes real work by the company to get their stock price up. And a stock price can always go down, there is no magic that makes it rebound up. PYPL is down 79% since it peaked in July 2021. Even a $1 stock can still drop 50%. OTOH if you bought AAPL 10 years ago & just held it, you did really fantastically well. Up 900%. But AAPL has been mostly in an uptrend. Pretty much any stock chart will have an option to add a Moving Average, or Simple Moving Average. Maybe we can tell you how. What brokerage are you using? Supply & Demand drives everything. That said, some people might sell it all immediately, before it drops more. Some might sell half, or 1/4, then sell another chunk later hoping to catch a better price on their sell. And some people will not sell, but buy because they think it will go up. The real truth is that nobody really knows the future. We are all forced to make decisions with incomplete information. There is a great book about that; "Thinking in Bets" by Annie Duke. You've said that in your opinion this stock does not have good future prospects. If that is how you feel, then you're going to want to sell all or part to at least begin the divesting process. PYPL stock has been mostly going down for the past 2 years, so I can see why you'd lose interest in it. The stock might go up again, someday. In which case you can buy it again if you want to. The key point is that (speaking generally here) you only make money when a stock goes up in price. So it makes sense to own stock that go up. SELL RULES: One of the many ways to manage a stock position is to sell the stock, or at least sell some of it, if/when the price drops under the 50 day (10 week) moving average line for a reasonable amount of time. That's a simple and reasonable sell rule. There are other buy & sell rules too. One Sell Rule says Sell if the price drops under & stays under the 50 day SMA line for 4 weeks or maybe 6 weeks. If it's a stock you really like & prefer to hodl longer term then use 8 weeks. How long really depends on your own time frame. IBD often recommends looking at a weekly chart (each candle stick is 1 week), not so much the daily chart (each candle stick is 1 day). Helps reduce the "noise". Looking back, if you had started selling your position when the stock dropped under the 50 day line for 6 weeks you would have exited a long time ago, Possibly Oct 4th, 2021 when it was about $262. It helps to have some sell rules figured out in advance. If you're not sure if you should sell, try selling just a portion. Something like 10% to 30% & see how it goes. Do you feel better? Sell just a portion of your position is often a good plan. You can feel OK about it no matter what happens next. Either you're happy you stayed partly in the game, or you're happy you got some cash out when you did. HTH
In future you can save a lot of words if you just write "BTFD". HTH
If OP is going to hold the T-bills until maturity, and not sell them on the secondary market, then keeping them ini Treasury Direct (TD) shouldn't be too much of a pain. The proceeds at re-investment can be directed to an account outside of TD on an individual T-bill basis, so they can be used in activities outside of TD upon maturity. For example, OP buys an 8-week ($1k face value, $995 cost) with funds directly from their checking account; funds ($995) are removed from checking at T-bill issue; 8 weeks later, funds are reinvested in another T-bill ($1k face value, $994 cost) but the difference ($6) is deposited in the checking account. (I don't know what that yield rate would be. I just WAGed those numbers for an example.) I've laddered T-bills through TD and get deposits to my checking every Tuesday (or Friday before the issue for some Monday holidays). It's straightforward and automatic and it never skips a week. HTH

SNAX's incoming additional funding was already mentioned in the recent quarterly call, and everyone knew a reverse split was coming.

Sure. An experienced trader would say "I bought a call for 3.50" (that is the price of the option as displayed on the option chain on the brokers platform). But I newbie would write "I bought a call for $350". There is nothing wrong in quoting in $terms, but here's the problem. A newbie would also say something like "I made $80 profit". This is meaningless. An experienced trader will always talk in %age terms and say "I made 8% profit". This is very meaningful. HTH.
Potentially- it depends on the broker really. Almost every time I’ve been granted stocks, they will settle taxes from the stock grant itself. You’ll still owe taxes on the gains (or can claim losses if you have any) over/under that grant price. HTH
That's a pretty traditional method to use, and it works. HYSA's are getting close to 4.5%, but T-bills still are looking better for that rate, and are helpful while you wait to find something to invest in. I like to sit in a HYSA or broker cash sweep account just because it's a little more liquid, but that's only for times like these. Otherwise I'd be laddering Tbills like you are. HTH
Arbitrage. Nature abhors a vacuum, and price action attracts investors who look to take advantage of the difference in price. Long term traders will fill large gaps over time, and day/swing traders fill them quickly by seeking a quick return (remember: “buy low, sell high” - every investor determines what those values mean) So when there’s a big pullback, or a huge surge (gap up/down) you’ll see buys or sells/longs or shorts to cover that spread. Hence arbitrating the difference in price (spread). HTH
Hedge fund managers are rarely fiduciaries ime (could be wrong, but I doubt it). Fiduciaries have a responsibility to wisely invest your money with your best interests in mind, and not their financial gain first. Hedge funds are absolutely about financial gains first, and they service too many clients with too many different needs to be actively tracking ethical standards. Also - the risk for a portfolio of clients may be significantly more or less than the fund manager’s personal appetite for risk. There are plenty of strategies you can execute with thousands of dollars that you can’t with billions. HTH

So this calendar is pertaining to purchasing options or stocks. So if the earnings are BH or AH then you use the day before to make your choices on that company before the trading day.

The singular rule of thumb is in fact the measure of total economic activity and when that has a sustained downturn, we call it recession. You can argue about what you think is causing recession (over-stimulation after Biden took office seems obvious, but you can argue unwise covid policies created a house of cards economy). But I'm sorry, you can just redefine and cherry pick stats and point to obscure government boards if you want to not sound like a total political shill.

VT follows the entire world equities market. VTI follows the US equities market. VOO follows the S&P 500. QQQ follows Nasdaq. VXUS follows equities outside the US. These are the most commonly referenced broad market index funds. There are others but you don't *need* to research them. People will always debate the "perfect" allocation among them, but *just get started*. Pick the broadest one (VT) if you like. If you don't trust international, go with VTI. If you want to focus on the biggest US companies, do VOO. If you want to take a bit more risk at growth/tech, QQQ. Looking to hone in on international by itself, VXUS. HTH
Using FINVIZ Once I find a possible stock I; Use the Overview tab to get a general sense of the company I'll use the Financial tab for ROE, operating margin and profit margin I use the performance tab for yearly performance, performance YTD and volatility and the ave. volume On the Technical tab I Beta, the SMAs, 52 wk Hi and Lo and RSI On the charts tab I again look at the moving averages, ceilings and floors along with the candlesticks (closed up/down) The Snapshot tab gives you news and insider trading. The Custom tab is hard to explain but you'll get after a while. The filters above the screen tabs are great like sectors or industry and analyst recommendations. HTH

You will be taxed on the net realized gains for the year regardless of how you have used the money since then. If you have net realized losses for the year, then you may deduct $3K against your other income. The rest of the losses will carry over to next year and beyond to offset your future gains and income. It may get more complicated based on your actual situation, but this is the gist of it... HTH

Close this mess by buying it back with a put credit spread (multiple) of at least equal value, can be for a future expiration but at least you’ll be able to get out of having to sell your shares without buying to close. I had to do this to close the short leg of a NET calendar spread a few weeks ago when it went on it’s bull run from $120 to now $191. Profited from the put credit spreads too when the price reached a point where I could close them. This saved my life and my sanity. HTH
Normally, yes. However, in that state, their buying power requirement has also dropped to near zero. So, I really don’t gain anything by rolling or closing. Really, my one consistent limiter has been the concentration limit. Short calls, due to their infinite loss potential, trigger the limit sooner and more often than puts. So, I usually roll near expiration short calls into a new far-dated strangle. Otherwise, I cannot sell the new calls. With my current eight sets, I am near triggering the concentration limit on puts as well. That’s why I rolled the 9/17 strangle to the 10/29 strangle this week. If I continue with the load I have now without materially growing my account, I will likely have to roll every week. If I return to my usual six or seven staggered sets, alternating between $SPX and $RUT, then I can keep the pace I want without having to close or roll. Otherwise, I am not limited by buying power or concentration. So, why not let them expire worthless and save a few bucks on premium and commissions? One last thing: I said what I said above because my aggregate BPr and remaining premium stay pretty stable with these staggered weekly strangles. The market has been gently climbing lately, ignoring specific daily or even weekly moves. If these strangles shift materially in their decay curves, it may become worthwhile to roll more aggressively. Perhaps at 24 DTE or perhaps near 50% or some other target profit. I constantly check the net premium from a roll versus a sale of a new strangle. I did explicitly roll in the past into a double-sized strangle as that appeared more lucrative at the time. Lastly, I like that these do not require much oversight or maintenance. I like keeping it simple. HTH
So that absolutely gargantuan CRHC buy order today (2.2% of the entire SPAC) got my attention. Added 15,500 warrants on that. I also thought about the fact tomorrow is CRHC's 1 year anniversary, seems like a great time for a DA. Also, HTH do you people buy warrants in size? It was TORTURE trying to buy 15.5k warrants in a day without taking the price up all by myself. I would have added 30,000 more warrants at 89¢, but it was literally not possible or I probably would have run the price to $1.00 or more.

Oh I see thanks. I just read that a class action is on the way against COIN. HTH
Options aren't mentioned in this thread. There are no options on warrants. HTH.
I think it is a common problem -- I have yet to find a broker which computes this properly. That is why I just use my own spreadsheet. All cash transfers adjust my basis. The gain (or loss) is then the difference between value and basis. The percentage gain (or loss) is the gain divided by basis. Now, even this approach is not fully accurate as large transfers will adjust basis enough to distort percentage gains. So, you may want to weigh basis versus time or just use average basis and adjust gains accordingly over the specific period of time. HTH
Lower delta translates to lower risk of assignment. Theta is good for OPTION SELLERS, bad for OPTION BUYERS. Think of theta as depreciation. HTH.

Your question is a little unclear. Nobody invests literally once with a small amount of money and calls that done. You need money to make money. And the more money you have, the more it will make. So if you only have a little to start worth, absolutely invest it at once. BUT *then*, commit to regular ongoing contributions to the highest extent that you can afford. That’s how, over a period of many years, people are able to grow large amounts of wealth. HTH
Here's site with some info [https://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/archive/silver-should-it-be-in-your-portfolio](https://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/archive/silver-should-it-be-in-your-portfolio) In my SIPP (pension) I've bought WisdomTree Physical Silver (Ticker: P H A G but without the spaces - I was getting blocked by the bots when I wrote it as one word lol). I don't know how trading 212 works but if you \*can\* get $PSLV, even through some sort of ForEx portal, that would be the best choice. Whatever happens with the foreign exchange, think of it like this - if you have 1 share of $PSLV you have about 1/3 of an ounce of silver. For real protection your first purchase should be physical Silver that you can hold in your hand, therefore eliminating all counter party risk. Unfortunately this means 20% VAT plus a premium above the official spot price. However, when you come to sell, if the buyer is a private investor they'll be comparing your price with a dealer's so in theory you should be able to recover most of this premium and the equivalent VAT. Also note that if you buy legal tender Silver coins this attract \*no\* Capital Gains Tax. If the coins has a monetary value on the back then it's legal tender. HTH
It all depends on your current versus expected marginal tax rate. So: 1. if you need to contribute to get the match, do that as you get the 3% guaranteed 2. a Roth IRA seems like a good idea regardless 1. you are likely to pay lower marginal tax rates now rather than later 2. plus, all your gains accumulate tax free 3. bonus: you can always withdraw your original basis without penalties 3. however, tax-deferred IRAs and 401ks become a bit tricky 1. if your current marginal tax rate is likely the lowest it will be during your lifespan, then you are not winning anything in the log run -- you are just waiting to pay higher taxes later 2. even if you do have a relatively high marginal tax rate now, consider that you are locking away the contribution for decades -- for most, it is still worth it in such a situation, but not for all 3. traditional IRA and 401k withdrawals will be taxed as ordinary income -- once you retire, will you be withdrawing more per year than you are earning now? 4. given our debt levels, how likely are we to face higher marginal tax rates a few decades down the line?

These are some bank stocks that I like and are moderately priced. HSBC - $29.74 - It is currently one of the world's largest financial institutions with more than 39 million customers around the world. Truist Financial (TFC) - $59.92 - It is currently the sixth largest US commercial bank. Currently in process of cutting $1.6 billion in costs, which should improve the profitability and organic growth rate. United States BanCorp (USB) - $54.64 - Currently rated the fifth largest bank in the US by deposits. Expanding into Southeast and Texas should improve growth. Hilltop Holdings (HTH) - $39.37 - Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Hilltop Holdings imply an improvement in the company's underlying business.
Roll up and out. Sell a contract in the next option period, at a higher strike (get back to .30), and then use the profit from that to buy back your current short. If you’ve done it right, you’ll have a net positive or, at least, you’ll wind up even. Suggestion: If you’re not at < 3 DTE, wait until the existing short is at .9 delta or above. No one in their right mind will exercise until extrinsic is basically gone. This will also ensure that your new strike will be as high as possible. If you’re close to expiration, then try and time the peak. Each subsequent options period will increase in time premium, but that, too, drop off. In many cases, the wait will pay off additional dividends as the stock often will drop back down below your strike, and will expire worthless. HTH! PS: Watch out for CCs in the coming weeks of stimmies!

1) Yes, most SPAC decks are pie-in-the-sky, but Lucid's seemed totally the opposite, I was floored by how low the 2021 - 2022 numbers were. As for 2025 or 2026, HTH does he know? If Lucid really does become the 2nd best EV company like many think, why wouldnt they sell a lot of cars in 5 years? 2) The fact they'll need another $5B in say 2.5 or 3 years isnt a terrible concern if the stock's $50 at that point. Nobody likes secondary dilution, but that's another 100M shares, which is about 6% total. I feel like that point's really being overhyped.
HTH. There's A LOT more to it than that, but that's most of what you'll see here with options: people paying a premium as a wager that a stock price will pass a certain price point before a future date. Most options get re-sold several times, long before expiration. Most options ultimately expire worthless, so you need to be good at dodging bullets. Note: You can also SELL the options. For example, if you have 100 shares of TSLA, you can SELL a call option, and collect the premium on it, which is yours to keep forever. If on the date of expiration, the share price closes above your strike price, then your shares will be sold to whoever has that contract, at that strike price. And you get to keep the premium, plus any gains. If the price stays below your strike price, you simply keep your shares and the premium. You can also buy shares in this way, and get paid to do it. For example, say you wanted to buy 100 shares of Stocky Stock at $20 each for $2,000 total. You could sell PUTS to the market. Let's pretend the premiums are around $1 for the PUTS on Stocky Stock at $20. So you sell the puts, collect $100 in premium, which is yours to keep. If the price of Stocky Stock is $20 or below when the options expire, then you WILL be sold those shares for $20. And you keep the premium. If the price doesn't fall below the strike price, then you just keep the premium and go about your business.
From the original investor presentation showing 304 million pro forma shares and the subsequent SEC filings that increase that figure to 392 million shares. Common mistake: most public sites like Yahoo or Google Finance don't get the market cap right at all, because they don't get the share count correct. This eventually gets corrected after the merger and the SPAC gets its own ticker. Though, for example, Yahoo and Google still don't have the $QS market cap quite right, though they are closer. HTH.
