Sorry to hear. Hope everyone is safe.

this guy's ability to generate engagement on ET is impressive.

Like I said before, you are demonstrating a complete absence of basic math and options concepts. The price of the stock on expiration date (your $25485) is irrelevant in determining your PnL in event the shares are called away. All that is relevant are (1) the price you paid for the stock, (2)...

Ok numbskull. You bought MARA for $16.90 You sold MARA 8/30/24 16.5C for $0.69 If MARA is above $16.5 at expiration and you allow your position to be called away, your PnL is: [$16.50 + $0.69 - $16.90] * 1500 = $435. Tada! If your shares are called away, your PnL is actually $435, not $300...

In addition to math, reading comprehension is also below grade level.

There is no discrepancy. You are just bad at basic math. And it would not be difficult to explain this to someone with a basic foundational level of options comprehension, but given your post history, it seems likely it would take a half dozen replies and a 1.5 days to explain something to you...

It's clear you don't understand basic arithmetic around calculating PnL. I think that is all I have to say on the matter.

Nah, I understood everything you shared. Your numbers are straightforward arithmetic. Your commentary and conclusions around those numbers are asinine.

you're out? Nice profit!

Completely understand. I respect that there's valuable IP involved.

fascinating discussion, though it mostly feels like me nodding along as others talk to each other in a foreign language

Based on your timestamp, IB is live, TT is delayed.

t treating realized and unrealized PnL as different is a one-way ticket to bagholding. That's the last thing I'll say in what I hope is the stupidest discussion I'll have to partake in this week.
