What is the buyers loss/gain on a ITM option purchase that doesnt move at all and expires? Does the buyer end up w/a 0 gain and a 0 loss? Or would they somehow take a loss?

Say i only want to collect dividends from a company. I dont want to lose or gain based on the movement of the stock price. Can I open long and short positions, and then just collect the dividends on my long position? I understand ill get paid dividends for my short position too, but Ill have to...

this is true. its destroying EVERYTHING. who wouldve ever thought being able to connect w/so many people...would be so destructive? crazy. the unabomber was right.

atleast you didnt buy the 9/25 500CALL in a roth ira with 12K in it. it was up $1500 at one time... im dead meat. i would absolutely LOVE to sell this bih for 1/2 the $5K purchase price.

well, duh. https://www.wsj.com/articles/lumber-poised-to-fall-with-autumns-approach-11599816602

LOLL....is that sarcasm? -_- But seriously...the lumber etfs dont seem to be up like that.....which makes sense...b/c the market isnt the economy. Maybe I should be looking at futures? Eh...I gotta do some research.

But the thing is...I cant set a stop if I dont have the shares. What I plan to do is play the sideways movement of $DIS with 300 shares. I will hold 100 shares, and not do anything with. I will trade the sideways movement w/200 shares. I want to sell at $135, buy at $132, and repeat. My issue...

Thoughts and ideas? No way it can stay up this high...

thx, fellas. will take the advice. done took too many losses. heh.

Im wondering...if there is any reason....one shouldnt consider buying 2022 calls for $AAL and $CCL? Theyre pretty cheap. the $CCL 15CALL Jan '22 is $8 a share. the $AAL 13CALL Jan '22 is $5 a share. I wish I knew about options before. I would be rich b/c I wouldve got so many options during...

what happens if you buy a call....and it goes up $5, then you sell it? do you get the FULL PREMIUM + GAINS? OR do you get little LESS THAN THE FULL PREMIUM + GAINS? i guess youd get a little less since some time has went by? ...due to time decay as @BMK said above?

Ive been messing around w/fidelitys P/L simulator. Its been great! Helps me kind of figure out what I should and shouldnt buy. Annoyed I always find out about these things AFTER i make the big financial mistake.

Am I correct in my thinking that...one should typically buy near the money options that have a pretty distant expiration date? Obviously, if you have a plan....to unload those contracts at a known time(prior to earnings for example) then maybe you wouldnt need to buy something that expires 6mos...

and stay away from intraday buying power. if you need to HOLD until it rebounds........then you cant do that that intraday buying power so....stick to your own cash........and your margin. and be careful w/the margin too! i lost so much. i wanna cry. as far as paper trading for many...

sorry i meant 30CALL JAN2022.

i appreciate $SDC and $NAVI....dont touch $SDC yet though. let it fall back down. $NAVI too. i need to get them both for the low. $UPWK, $DBX, $AAL(30PUT JAN2020)

but historically...from my research...the election doesnt have any effect on the market. i dont think it did the last time either...that i can recall. to be real....might have to be something bigger than the election to break the back of the market again. BUT WHAT? hmm...thats the question...

I think it will move back up this upcoming week. Crash comes closer to election time...IMO. Could be totally wrong b/c I am not a smart man when it comes to market moves. LOLL. lmbaooo@last paragraph.

Of course the market will crash again...to conclude this year of hell. But will the election be the catalyst that pushes it back down? Thoughts? Im pretty sure it wont take much to crack this rally.

in 2 days to be exact. what makes it worse is that i had JUST putt hat 5K in there at the beginning of the week. and...i ALMOST made it all back...when i was down 5K, i went back to 2.5K. and i wouldve probably ended at around 5K, but like i said....broker sold me out my trade and restricted my...
