If you sell the stock at a loss, that money is never coming back. Don't sell. Stocks over the long run tend to head north, and sometimes after a bad decision, you just have to wait it out. While waiting, if that was me, and has been me in the past, start looking for some long ATM puts, to at...

Not really sure what you're asking, but taking profits will never cause you to blow up. If I'm holding stock that is substantially gyrating north, instead of taking profit immediately, I use delta neutral puts to lock in profit and milk it for all it's worth. If suddenly the setup won't do...

Would rather look at Melania as the first lady, than Bill in a dress…:D

:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Trump is super smart. He did ok in the first debate, not great, but ok. If he had done outstanding, then the following two debates might have been too tough to replicate. What you saw from Clinton, was about the best she's got. Again, she was ok, but not outstanding. Clinton will be hard...

Canada has an environmentalist, no growth, narcissistic "selfie" PM (former drama teacher). Three more years to go until the next election. Three days after he was elected, he stands on the world stage and declares Canada is no longer a resource nation. Kevin O'leary from "Shark's Tank" is...

I see it as Trump bringing an end to U.S. participation in these basket case countries wars. It'll become the UN's and wannabees problems. Too costly, better off playing the money game (Trump's strong suit).

Implied volatility is an arbitrary guess of what the underlier is going to do. Once the guess has been made, then the equation is wrapped into the greeks formula.

Wouldn't you rather get in the habit of teaching yourself to earn big wins? :D

Directional, with above average money management skills, IMHO :D

Compare your Ivol to the last 30 day statvol, take the difference, and plug in the vega to give a rough idea of the dollar amount of a possible crush.

knee-capped :banghead:

"Get the idea", what are you high? You have a winning strategy, but you have all these debts, and can't afford the finer things in life. IMHO you need a copy editor or a better strategy.:D

I've seen this with RBC in Canada. Just ignore it, find something else to trade. Complaining will bring on too much paperwork.

If you had a real winning strategy, selling it would make no sense. If anything, you would be on these boards asking where's the best place to dock your brand new 150' yacht, that was just paid for in cash. You know what I mean? If you have a winning strategy, milk it for all its worth, and...

My two cents while waiting for Shark Tank at 9 PM (EST) The greeks are a mathematical equation that will indicate the future of the option which is based on the underlier price…and… and… the MM's perception of (implied) volatility, which in turns gives the trader an arbitrary number. And with...

Long puts will keep one in the game, through a bear market.

In Canada, the TMX covered call calculator (screener) is fairly robust http://www.m-x.ca/marc_options_info_calc_en.php

Maybe switch to monthly's instead of weeklies to give your position more time to percolate. Especially this time of year, when the markets are all over the place (wild swings).

Hold on? He's ending his second term…two term limits, yes?
