    When is buying calls better than buying shares?

    The recommendation was to buy MNMD and sell Jan 24 2.50 calls against it. If I sell covered calls, am I not forced to hold the shares until expiration if price is in the money? Let's say MNMD goes to 4 and I have 100 shares and a Jan 24 2.50 call. I have locked my gains in at $2.50 per share...

    When is buying calls better than buying shares?

    Man you're saying buy $500 worth and then sell as many calls as I can and then buy more shares with the profits? So I'd have 446 shares for $500, then I'd sell 4 calls ($224) then I'd buy another 200 shares? Yet my original 400 would be limited to $2.50 maximum price, but the other 200 would...

    When is buying calls better than buying shares?

    Let me make sure I understand. There is a point at which options get more valuable if price gets there on or before expiration, yes? So if MNMD gets only to $3.00 you would make money with shares but if it's not there quick enough and doesn't get to $3 until the ending day of the option then...

    When is buying calls better than buying shares?

    Let's say I'm bullish on a stock like 2 years from now. While I figure out how much money I'd spend if I were to spend a certain amount on shares or that same amount on options, and then do Think or Swim's calculator to see the profit between now and then, if buying the options becomes more...

    Buy pullbacks or buy highs?

    Coinbase sends me alerts when certain cryptos move + or - 5% in a given timeframe. Some of these involve NU, XML, and CGLD. I'm not shilling these, I just read them constantly in the alerts I get, so they must be volatile. I was thinking, people cherish discussing whether it's better to buy...

    This is my portfolio of drug and nerd stocks. We won't talk about my manner for ending up with such horrible positions, but they are as follows: SNDL (marijuana) - 2,400 shares @ .91 average cost 2 Jan 20 .5 C @ 0.59 average cost 1 Jan 19 .5 C @ 0.38 1 Jan 19 1 C @ .28 2 Jan 19 1.5 C @ .25...

    LEGITIMATE question: how do you buy when price is rising?

    I'd rather miss a huge run than buy a high and lose money. Yet I have no problem buying dips in prices and new lows then having price go against me more and waiting to generate a profit.

    LEGITIMATE question: how do you buy when price is rising?

    Buying decreasing prices is super easy. Buying into an uptrend is the most challenging part of trading. I literally cannot do it. How do you psychologically do it?

    So, can you post more about this? I have been purchasing crypto for years, but I don't understand the process for getting coins that are not listed on coinbase or binance.

    If you had 1,000 to invest, would you rather put 500 in Bitcoin and 500 in Ethereum, or 6.75 in everything else that coinbase offers.

    Is this a wash sale?

    Like I was wondering what would happen. Occasionally I buy stock, and then it changes against me, and I buy more, and when selling for a net profit, some of the shares might be a loss.

    when you say time, do you mean like certain times to do trades, or certain times to leave them live, etc.?

    everyone talks about watning a tops and bottoms indicators, so I made one

    As a poster mentioned in another thread, you wait until you get a buy command and then put an order above the high of that candle. You walk it down each candle until it's filled. This skips many of the bad identifications. Or you can just start averging in and have a hard stop. Frequently...
