Does it make more sense to sell puts instead or buy shares?

And it can often be a loss that remains a loss. When you write a put, you're making the assumption that shit isn't going to hit the fan for that particular instrument. But when it does...and it can happen for a number of reasons...you can get stuck holding a pile of crap for a long time, and trying to work yourself out of an instrument that will never recover.

I'm sharing with you from long experience. Do with it what you want.

Yes but no different than if you held the stock.

Are you looking to set up another credit fly? :)

I must have looked at the wrong price in my sheet or my sheet is glitching...yes that makes sense because only the extrinsic value can bleed off...so the only benefit is the .11..not nothing but is it worth giving away upside potential.

OK had time to check. No my sheet was correct..the price had changed. On SEP6 the 16.50 put would be worth $1.26 with price at 15.24 (16.50-15.24) so you gain (1.61-1.26=.35) where the stock would only gain .24 so .11

I'm not a vol trader but the vol seems high (?) in the weekly options for MARA.
If you're willing to add to your position, you can sell the Sept13... 15 Call & 15 Put for ~1.73.
You're essentially selling 100 shares @ 16.73 if it closes above 15 OR you're adding 100 shares @ 13.27 if it closes below 15.
 
For all the BS you spout on how good a directional trader you are,every trade you put on wreaks of being a complete noob.

Stock is at 15,your ridiculous price target is 16.60,and you want to sell the 16.50 put with 11 cents of extrinsic???

WTF Lambo loser??

The master of Elliot Wave is bullish on Mara,but is short the embedded call for 11 f-n cents??

I guess if you are never right,every penny counts...
