SBUX - Just bought 100 contracts June 30 Calls at $0.50

Quote from midlifeguy:

You will make more money selling these type of options than buying them.

You'll make money most of the time but sooner or later you'll get clobbered. An unexpected rise of 10% of the underlying would clean out a writer

That is true. That is why I personally prefer to mostly sell puts on stocks that I would like to own at a price below FMV.
 
Quote from forex-forex:

I own a condo which has gone up a lot, plus I have a day job which I like.

If the SBUX trade doesn't pan out then I will probably stop trading options, I find it takes too much computer time looking at charts. I will leave a small amount in my trading account if I decide to trade again.
Oh well, I'd suggest you check with this trading group before giving up on Options!

I hope you're not still holding those July calls.

July 30.00 SQXGF.X
bid 0.05
ask 0.10

I suggest you sell them now while they're still worth a nickel.
 
to the paper trader.

Starbux is a ripoff, catering to metrosexuals and women who think that a $5 'lateeeee' is a big thrill.

Scam gonna implode eventually.
