Stockpredictor, can you detail on this? If price isn't trending are options cheaper? I hear writing options is more profitable but the win rates seem so much bigger buying?

Wait really? Why would they buy them earlier?

Would it be possible to use these % chance of expiring in the money to predict direction? Bro I never got this. If you know there is x % chance it will expire in the money, then you know where price will be, right? So sell or buy the stock in that direction and score??

Coworker, that is basically the gist I get from reading this forum.

] Cordier No idea what that is. ] Gamestop Followed lots of that on reddit. I totally get SELLING at put if you want more stock at a better price. Stock is 100. You want more at 90. Look sell a 90 put. Then, if price goes down, you get the money from the put and the shares you were going...

If you think price is going to go higher why would you make only a little money rather than possibly make a lot?

Everybody says writing options is a "good way to make money," the "super secret no one knows," etc. I get it. You write an option. You get paid. Ok. But this profit curve looks shit: If you think is gonna go one way, why not just buy (or sell) the stock? What am I not seeing? They says...

Like a bull put spread. Yo'ure buy8ing and selling, maybe one is profitable, one is a loss. Wouldn't the loss be a wash sale?

Give me details about this, too.

What about when you buy one contract and sell another, one expires for a loss, one for a gain. Is that a wash sale?

I want to know if a put purchased AFTER the buy of stock within 30 days but sold for a loss counts as a wash sale. 40 shares of stock, 1 put.

How was it not clear? 1/2/2021 - buy 50 shares of ABC stock 1/3/2021 - buy an OTM put by ABC stock 2/1/2021 - put expires OTM Is the put a wash sale?

Ok what if I buy 50, not 100, shares of ABC stock on 1/2/2021. Then on 1/3/2021, I buy an OTM put, which expires out of money. So it's a loss. Because I bought the stock less than 30 days prior, does that mean I can't claim the loss?

Yeah dude I did check before posting here.

If you buy a call and then sell it at a loss, and then buy another call (same stock) is that a wash sale? Same with puts.

Just seems like it keeps going down forever with the sporadic spike.

Can VIXY go to zero or do they just keep reverse splitting it?

Did not know there was UVXY.

Will there be approaching spike to 20?

It's at a crazy low. Ready to jump back up.
