Yeah, I remember the old Yahoo board days :) When I was struggling to learn "Getting Started in Options" by Michael Thomsett. Now, I can trade 8...
Yeah, it just seemed like it was too cheap. When playing with $150+ stocks that can move alot, it seems like you'd want more then $160 for the...
Eliot, Just curious, did you run that position through an analyzer before trading it to see where the profit/loss zones were? Or maybe you do...
1a2b3cppp, Of course a put can lose money even if it is ITM for example if you pay $400 for it, and it finishes $1 ITM, you would lose ~$300....
Volatile AMZN options: I was just watching this (didn't do any trades), but it lead me to a thought. First the numbers - AMZN close Tues...
