So you've bought a put on a company. When you're selling to close, does this mean you are exercising the option, buying the underlying stock, and then selling it to close your position?? Just a yes or no will suffice. Answers will be greatly appreciated.

What is an xspread anyways?

This what I'm looking for, easy predictable profits, no matter how small. Thanks, I'll definitely look into this.

I should have gone with the 5$ put. But I'm thinking I'm pretty happy I got in on this trade.

There's little chance that I will lose all 120, if anything. And I have to wager so much to offset OX comissions.

DAY 1: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 Bought 3 NBG 2.5 Puts at (35$ Each) P/L on this trade so far: (-120) Comments: I normally wouldn't buy an OTM put for the next month, but I think Greece will make a larger recovery than expected and didn't want to burn into what I think will be a...

OX labels this as a protective put but its not..

The most I can lose is 200$ per contract, and that's if the stock plummets. Take a look at this stock. You would be aggressive too. It's not a naked put if I own the stock...

I get 360 in premium from selling a put It only costs 373 to buy JMBA.. There's over a 90% chance for me to break even

So just to make sure, if I'm selling a put at a strike price of 5, that means if I get assigned someone else gets to buy it at that price?

So I've made my own options strategy. TIme to test it out!

JMBA. I expect exactly this to happen. Should the put be ITM? I'm thinking my graph doesn't factor in assignment, into my profits.

God I feel like an idiot. It's been a long day. I knew that.

At the same time... What is this called? It's shown low risk and good numbers in my graphs..

Thanks, this cleared it up for me.

The mantra I have is: "If you do what everyone won't do for a short time, you can do what everyone else can't do for a lifetime." Everyone else is buying surfboards and wasting their time while I'm saving and investing a little bit of time now for smooth sailing later :D

Sorry, I realized this earlier today, haha.

OptionsXpress for one... well I assume it's not a margined account. I don't have to keep 2k+ in but it's considered a "level two"..

You sell a call/put, get assigned, and don't have the money in your account to pay for it? And you don't have a margin account?

Compared to someone who does this full time, I am all of the things in my title. And yes, to your question. I just trade out of my dad's account. I've created accounts for myself but most companies nowadays require a form of ID to link your BA.
