I mostly teach x, y, z

Thank you destriero, I really appreciate it when you explain things a little more. They did trade briefly ITM, I could not time my trade as I should have. Oh well.

Thanks, I bought the puts (not 20 day) just before earnings/fed announcement with expiration that Friday. You are correct I can't second guess myself. I have an order in to buy to close the calls at .02. They expire on 3/10 XOM will go back up with crude. Then I will sell calls again. I have...

You are obviously not at fault.

Just donate to the hubris fund

You are also kind of rude. Yes, on Friday they did expire worthless. Path-dependency?

I had to make breakfast for my children. I sold my puts Thursday morning and got my money back. I could have sold them later and made money. I don't know what a 20D is. To repeat: You could have a little more humility.

If you want to know the absolute truth, I sold my puts early. You stated with such confidence that they would expire worthless. It is my fault. I do not blame you. I was trying to cook eggs for my family at 6:35 AM and could not change my order in time. You could have a little more humility.

I think that the term "contract" refers to options contracts.

Trade "on paper" until you start to learn better strategies to make money, pick stocks, time entrance and exit, etc. Right away make smaller trades if any.

Thanks, Yeah I sold calls at 123 Bought puts at 111 Everything worked out fine!

Thanks TheDawn. You are always helpful and kind. A lot of people (I am assuming that they are people) on this message board are not so kind. A lot of egos on this message board.

Thanks easymon1 IQ is really good and easy to understand.

They are in the money now. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I do teach all day M-F so I do not have the ability to monitor the stock market all day.

Yes today. But I should have waited a bit longer. Maybe I should have waited until tomorrow.

You were right on!

Thanks. :)

I don't know what gamma is, but falling into the trap of infinite gamma does not sound good. I will look up "options gamma"

Bobby Hull? JK Do you like Rush? "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" I will do all the math problems, but I'm not usually on the other side of assignment of math homework. Thanks.
