Hello, I wonder how assignments actually work. I will take a simple example and have put questions 1-5. If it is possible to answer those question as 1-5 would be the best to not mix the answers in one sentence to not confuse. Let's assume below: A. AAPL spot price: 100 B. We sell a call...

I have trouble to follow your example. Is it possible to simplify this? First your values seems wrong if you look at date 11/21/2015 for vodafone? - The spotprice in TOS is: 25.51 - The 23 put price is: 0.28 I found this formula for put/call parity: C + PV(x) = P + S ------like this-------...

I try to break 3 questions I have down: 1. Yes you are right, I was looking at the wrong date. Doing the math again, it seems that the dividend is priced in on the day before ex-dividend and it should be impossible to make profitable trades from day before ex-dividend to next day? 2. As you...

1. Is the example correct? 2. "Good luck with that" assuming what?

I looked an example on 22 November. I look at prices in Think or Swim and I think I could see a profitable example: Symbol: VOD Vodafone Group Dividend payout: 0.488625 Date: 11/22 Stock price: 24.49 Dividend Yield: 8.20% Now, the closing price for the underlying on 11/22 was: 25.18 I then...

Hello, I found the above text on the internet and wonder something about the call options the day before ex-dividend date. My thought is for the OTM call options. As we "know" that the price of a stock most likely will drop in price on the ex-dividend date, - what I am thinking of is to create...

Yes, that cleared something out. So it is the "timevalue" we should look at as profit? As I am the seller, I wonder if there is a commision, taxes, assignment cost to this 0.26 cents. If so, how much can those costs be approximately in total? As a beginner of this I wonder, when my 100 stocks...

I can't really grasp it yet, I wonder if it is something I miss. I will take a real example. I did look at the stock CSCO. Lets assume it is the ex-dividend tomorrow: 1. Stock is trading at 30.09 2. We buy 100 shares of CSCO. 3. Strike 29 has a bid: 1.35. We sell this ITM call option. As this...

Thanks for answer. I wonder something here. I will try to create a scenario: 1. Ex-dividend is tomorrow and it is 30 minutes until the market close for the day, - so we buy 100 stocks in NLY for example. We also sell a call at the same time where we collect 1 dollar premium. 2. Now when it is...

What does this mean? Does this mean that if we sell a call option and receive for example 1 dollar premium. Does this mean that if we now get assigned, we do KEEP this entire 1 dollar premium because we got assigned?

I struggle with those 2 questions but have not yet found any answer when reading about this on google?

I have red almost every link about this on google so I now try to sort out the details I am not 100% sure of. I wonder something here. As the scenario you mention: If we sell the call for 1 dollar premium 30 minutes before the close and the ex-dividens is tomorrow and DTE of the options is for...

Thanks, I try to understand the: " if the ITM calls have less time value than the dividend" If the stockprice is at 100 and say we sell the 100 strike for 1 dollar and the dividend is 3%. Does this mean that the timevalue(1 dollar) is Less than 3%(3 dollar) and we are likely to be assigned? If...

Hello, I wonder about something about Dividend Capture when one would combine an example like below: Dividend: 3% - Buying 100 stock of IBM á 100 dollars per share - Sell an ITM call option at strike 97 for 3 dollars premium. Let us for the sake of the example that theoretically the price in...

Thank you for the Morningstar Earnings Calendar, that could help out quite well perheps. I understand now what you mean, so it is true that different companies release their earningsreport on different dates DURING a quarter if I understand? What I think confuses me is when looking at Yahoo...

Hello, I have a question about: 1. Reported EPS 2. Consensus EPS EPS means Earnings Per Share. I wonder what comes first, is it so that analysts first predict the EPS which is: Consensus EPS. Question 1 Then at a later date, Reported EPS is released what it really is? Question 2 How long...

Thank you for your help. I wonder also if the earningssurprise always comes out on those dates like yahoo states: I wonder if it is standard that a company release the earnings surprise on those dates, if it is safe to use those dates like it is shown here...

I can only find the below: Sep2016 10/18/2016 0.8 0.73 9.59 Jun2016 07/20/2016 0.59 0.53 11.32 Mar2016 04/19/2016 0.54 0.49 10.2 Dec2015 01/14/2016 0.74 0.63 17.46 Is there a way to get even older dates back to for example year 2013 like: 20131031 ? The question really is how we can know for...

Hello, When looking at yahoo finance: https://biz.yahoo.com/z/20131031.html We can for example see the stock "AHS" with a "Surprise (%)" of 12.50. My question is if it is possible to see what date this "Surprise (%)" was released. How would that be possible to see for this date 20131031 ...

That is great, thanks! Then I have understood how to calculate this correctly. Yes alcohol has its own mind sometimes :)
