Got it ;]

So while freight rates soar , most VLCC and option tankers have locked in contracts for the next year, tanker stocks have gone down sharply. STNG, NAT, DHT, EURN etc.... the whole gamut. What is the deal here? Most speculators will see these huge profits as only temporary but they are still...

The common person looks for rumors or volume spikes like with MVIS and UAVS, and bythen you're just another guy on the roller coaster, but what does the sophisticated trader look for in advance? :p

1 billion profit on 8,500 cars sold a year? Where else are profits coming from? As COVID has shown, the uber rich have gotten richer and luxury good stockpiling is one of those things that happens during recessions.

Now when I want to exercise the call, say after it reaches 20, does that strike price impact the buyer on the other end? The lower it is, the more desirable it is for them?

So yes, I've read books, googled, and still do not have a clear idea of how strike prices work and what the best options for me to use them are. Let's say Stock X is trading at $15. I think it will go up to $20 by the end of this week, and therefore would like to Buy a Call. There is an option...

As an update, I've made steady profit with BIG CAP stocks like PSX , TSLA, NFLX etc but now want to get my feet wet with the small caps, even the penny stocks perhaps. Seems the smaller the stock price the more gambling it becomes and the less investing!

Alright, it's time for me to get my feet wet with options. I've got a biotech stock in mind, a doo a diddy diddy dum diddee doo, and I want to a buy a call Monday morning in hopes of selling it off later in the week. The earliest expiration is May 15, 2020. Does it help me to get the soonest...

If you look at storage capacity and tanker information that is readily available, this is clearly something that will be fine once demand goes up just a little. US Shale production was never profitable at these low prices and they needed to stop producing a while back. it's all about the demand...

I bought 500 shares at $4 and am wondering how long can I hold onto it? I know the next 6 weeks are going to be really bad but I'm also wondering as an ETF, how does it behave in regards to money invested? Is it something I hold onto and ride out past June Futures expiration or does it...

Can you elaborate on making money when the stock doesn't move? It's because someone on the other end of broker will want to pick up something you have bought based on their speculation? Isn't that a crap shoot to find someone like that?

Could you elaborate on the leverage part? You can buy a call/put for a speculative price instead of the actual price? Or are you only speaking about penny stocks or something like AMC which is trading around $3?

I don't claim to be an expert, I have only been trading since Nov 2019. And picked up more heavily in 2020 because of corona. In my short history I have been good with spotting trends and setting safety nets. When stocks begin their downward decline of corona, I had no idea what was going to...

The indices offer what, a 5-7% return per year? You can definitely make more than that swing trading and day trading if you have a feel for things. I am not a nostradamus, I just bet on how the market reacts and spot trends and quite frankly, it has been relatively predictable short term...

I see, it provides a barrier against volatility and risk over the course of time, whereas a normal short leaves you open to having your broker wipe out your margin account. I imagine a ton of guys are buying calls for cruise stocks and oil right now. Are you making the options contract...

So I am so far in the green with trading but have not traded options. I don't see how they are different than normal swing trading or margin trading where hmm... I think TSLA is going up at a certain point, so I buy 100 shares and then sell them when I think it's peaked and is about to drop...

I have used Fidelity for short term trades and long calls... straight forward stuff that was easy to do. I'e now opened the margin trading and options trading account and want to day trade on the active trader pro platform. Can someone point out how to use the stop loss feature : 1. Stock A is...
