You guys beat me to it, thanks. I eventually saw some articles on this. The big question is whether this will simply be a short-term bearish situation and if telecom stocks will rebound quickly or not.

What's going on with all the mobile company stocks today? Why are they tanking?

I didn't expect the stock to suddenly go up over 23% the day before expiration! Typically if I am selling covered calls on a stock, I am prepared to lose that stock to assignment. This one situation has made me think but in the end I will probably let them go. Otherwise, I may try to roll...

I did well on Wayfair today. I bought 5 calls on it the other day and it's up 16.87% right now on the day! I sold to close and made myself $672.00 CAD...

It's not a bad situation to be in. One of those "why did I sell covered calls?" The stock is 23.6% the day before expiration! Not much I can do. The key thing here would be: Do I think the stock will keep rising or return to where it was? If the former, then maybe roll all or some of them...

CURRENTLY 78.25

IT'S THE ONE ON THE TSE AS I STATED IN MY POST!

I am just looking for some feedback on this. I own 500 shares of Shopify (SHOP) on the TSE. I sold 5 covered calls on them, all to expire tomorrow. 2 of them @ 67 strike price and 3 of them @ 70 strike price. The stock is up 23.7% on teh day currently and @ 78.00 as I type this. Should I...

Thank you all. I am just looking for some ideas and that helps...

I have been delving into options over the past couple of years. I primarily sell covered calls but recently started looking other ways to generate income. I am interested in the Iron Condor and seeking more stock ideas for strategy building. Obviously, I am looking for stocks that tend to stay...

In these somewhat turbulent times, I am seeking some ideas for US or Canadian stocks to short. Could be short-term or longer-term holds. If any of you would like to add some ideas to this thread, that would be great. You can also PM me to chat. Thanks.

I should also add that for me the toughest part of trading currencies was deciding when to take profits. I found that a majority of the time, if I had a trade that was well 'in the money' (as they say in options), and I waited to see if it would keep moving in the right direction for me, I...

I never borrowed any money but I leveraged a tremendous amount at times. A big part of having success in the forex market that people don't fully understand is that if you have a lot of money in your account, you have a plan, and you are patient, you can do well. You just have to be able to...

Forex was a rollercoaster. I went through some rough times and then there were stretches of time when I did extremely well. I had a goal in mind; I was close but had not yet reached that goal. Then when the pandemic hit 14 months ago, I got caught in a mess with a long list of losing trades...

ValeryN, I was actually heavily involved in the forex market for about 10 years. Last June, I shut down my currency account and went back into the stock market. I had been investing / trading on the stock market prior to that decade in forex. Hence, I am trying to learn and get going in...

Appreciate that. I have had a mentor but his health hasn't been great and he's got a lot on his plate now in his life. So, I thought I'd reach out beyond. I just thought it would be nicer to have some personal face-to-face contact with someone or some people rather than continuously doing...

I have been trying to learn as much as possible about options over the past few months. I want to get started by buying and selling some puts and calls. However, I feel I need a little mentorship from an experienced options trader to kind of 'get me over the hump' and get me started with my...

Ok, I've been watching a few videos, listening to some podcasts and doing lots of reading. I have the basic fundamentals I think when it comes to buying and selling calls and puts. I am trying to figure out how to proceed from here. Maybe start with buying or selling an option or two just to...

I am new to this forum and to options, although I am not new to trading. I am in the process of trying to get a handle on options. I have been using videos and materials on my Broker's site (Interactive Brokers) as well as random information and videos I have found online. I find that I am...
