I've bought puts on BP and they are close to the break even point; so how exactly does exercising a put work? Thanks

BP caved in pressure to Obama and that was their bone to placate him. The government will still fine BP into the Billions(anyone remember big tobacco in the 90s) and there is some talk of criminal fines which without a doubt is being investigated by the Attorney General's Office...

Yeah, I just started trading and one of the lessons I have learned is: Don't get greedy. I.E. I quickly made a 20 percent return on an option but noo I got greedy and I wanted to make more; soon the price of the option sank and I was down 200; yesterday I broke even but got greedy again I...

I don't believe in the "jobless recovery" it's illogical and despite the recent poor job reports; jobs have declined since the recession ended and have for the past 3 months been adding to the payroll. Regardless of the short-term outlook I don't think the world's largest economy is going to...

I ask alot of questions here regarding stock/options purchases and I want to thank everyone who has answered my questions. So my latest thought is buying short-term puts on caterpillar. Cat is one of the largest manufacturers in the US and exports a large portion of the products oversees...
