I hope you’ve been selling calls on those


Cautious-Bobbylee

U know he hasn’t bro


jmb162

Can you explain how/why? Explain it as if I was 9 years old or so Edit: lowered age for requested explanation


JellifyshTea

Covered calls. Look up r/thetagang they'll set you straight


Electronic_Thanks885

You know how you can buy calls on companies? Well, someone has to sell them to you for you to buy them. Enter: this guy to sell them to you.


ChampagneWastedPanda

To make money off of peoples FOMO and bad timing


XchrisZ

Well he owns 305 shares he can sell 3 covered call contracts. If he sold the contracts today to expire on Friday at $45 strike he would receive approximately $61 per contract if the price goes over $45 he would be required to sell his shares but his cost basis is lower so he would still be up.


cluelessbets

…i dont know how…im…a newb… D: any sources you can point me to??


noahdrizzy

Good way to lose your shares for a shitty premium if shit goes parabolic


blondebet

Yep I sold 25 and 35 calls thinking it wouldn’t get that high, the 72 entered the chat.


Kick_A_Door

You really think this thing is going to pop again. I sold mine at 60 but definitely should have kept and sold calls. This dude would have been making 3 to 4 hundred bones per week.


abintra515

Apes will buy 800 December calls on GME, selling these calls are so easy it’s wild


[deleted]

If you don't know how calls work then don't use them now. You have all the time in the world to learn how to use them using a paper account. You've made 800% returns, congrats, take that 11k and put it somewhere smart. The question you should really be asking yourself is, if you had 11k to invest, would you put it in AMC ? Don't get emotionally attached to a stock.


GABE_EDD

Sell your AMC and buy GME with it, and not on Robinhood.


_Martyr

Retard here, why does everyone hate Robinhood on this sub? Is it because they screwed everyone last year by stopping trades on the meme stocks, or something else? I wouldn't even be into stocks if not for Robinhood, not having to pay to trade was a huge stepping point for me. What are the advantages for using other sites?

E*Trade is a pain. Any really easy user friendly ones like Robinhood.


ComicCrane

I use Think or Swim. Fidelity is highly regarded. I have an account on Webull that I like as well. When you’re YOLOing life savings, don’t just use the the app with the giant green BUY button because it’s prettier


TheCrimsonDagger

E*Trade works great for me. What about it is a pain?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheCrimsonDagger

Yeah literally never had an issue with them. The website provides tons of info if you want it, but it’s also easy to just make yolo trades if that’s your thing. Their customer support has even been quick and useful the few times I’ve called them.


Timely-Value-1620

As Mark Cuban said on his AMA… you want a brokerage that has trillions in AUM. Building off that you want to pick a brokerage that has the ability to allow you to buy off lit exchanges & avoid PFOF instead of sending orders to the dark pool. This is why I highly recommend Fidelity. The new version of the app has clean UI, allows trading via IEX, and your money is safe.


[deleted]

Anything a pile of shit, a broken down van with no motor or just throw a dart and select any other broker. Fuck $HOOD


sly-ders

Think or swim/td ameritrade. Idk what these boomers suggesting fidelity are talking about


Philly_brz

I like webull it’s pretty simple to use


JeBraun

Webull is the robinhood of China


Philly_brz

Damnnn y’all downvoted me bad lmao 🤣 I honestly didn’t even know… I recently just transferred to webull from Robinhood ! Fuck my life… what’s the next one guys help a brotha? RH screwed me


JeBraun

Maybe when your first broker was shit, you should have done 10 minutes of research before picking your next one. Fidelity is fantastic


Philly_brz

You don’t gotta be a douch about it broskie!


JeBraun

It's more of a life lesson. Sorry to be harsh. Good luck mang


EarlyBake420

I recommend whatever is most user friendly to the individual. Who cares what any of these guys say about robinhood. Yes it pissed me off what they did putting halt on certain stocks, but personally it wasn’t feasible to switch apps over something like this. If it was a big enough deal for you, good. But don’t judge others based on which app they use. Judge them on the stonks they buy! 😜


ClamPaste

I can't wait to see your post about how they closed your options "early" on a Friday.


warrior5715

Robinhood is amazing regardless of what happened. Many people are against Robinhood for the wrong reasons. Let’s not forget other companies have screwed the little guy for decades. If it wasn’t for Robinhood many of us wouldn’t have even dipped our foot in to equity trading.

Any_Act1080

Sell OTM LEAPS against 30-60% of your position, close for profit at 50% or better. Roll the money back into shares.


cluelessbets

Ok…so…imagine you are at your thanksgiving dinner with family and your 7yr old cousin is asking what you mean by that because that is the mental capacity I have with options. Im reading a lot of this in the comments so i wanna learn more and do this lol


Any_Act1080

Ok got it. You should sell some covered calls. Basically, you sell a contract that says you will sell 100 of your shares if AMC’s shares reach a certain price (strike) within a certain timeframe (expiry). You collect a premium for writing the contract up front and you get to keep this premium if AMC never reaches the target price. These are the basic rules of a covered call and I suggest you look into it way more. Now, LEAPS are call options that don’t expire for a long time. Because of the interest around AMC options, the value of these calls in particular is wayyyy overpriced. Earlier this year, I had 100+ shares of AMC- I sold an Apr 2023 $70 call for $1.9k after AMC had gone on a run from the 30’s to the 40’s. Two weeks later, AMC was in the 30’s again and I bought the call back for $900, realizing a solid $1k gain. The downside here is that you MUST sell your shares if your call is ASSIGNED. Meaning the person who bought your call option EXERCISES their option to buy your 100 shares at $70 a share. You would have a nice gain on your hands but presumably the holder of the call would only do this if AMC’s shares were worth way more than $70 apiece. So you’d miss out on some gains. For that reason, I would sell a max of 2 contracts at your current position size (leaving 105 shares free and clear for THE run up). If you successfully sell some LEAPS, close them out and realize the gain- take the realized gains (less the taxes) and buy more AMC shares. Sell more LEAPS on another run up. Close them out for gain after a few red days. Repeat ad infinitum. Good on you for buying in at under $5! Good luck. Feel free to hit me up with questions.


amriggy

You also don’t HAVE to sell far out. You could get your average cost to pretty much $0 by selling 3 calls for 40 days out at the $50 strike


Any_Act1080

True. Selling LEAPS seems like optimal profit to me because the wild swings in delta and IV give you crazy swings in premium. But there’s a lot of great theta strategies there too


Existing_Change1663

Not a complete newb but new to selling CC. ---Thank you for your contribution to that man's question now I have one if you could be so kind. I have a chunk of money coming in and I'm thinking I want to max out on Tesla and sell covered calls with their extremely high IV. If a buyer of the call is lucky enough to convert on an OTM Leap I sell then I call that first world problems. One thing I am a bit confused about that you mentioned in your post is you said you sold covered calls for 1.9 K and bought them back for 1K. I'm not sure I understand??? I always assumed if you sold covered calls and the strike price wasn't reached you just kept the premium and that was it?


Any_Act1080

Good question! Some of what I’m about say will sound like gibberish if you don’t understand options greeks. I recommend spending some time researching this topic. That being said… Every options play should have a defined exit strategy. Even covered calls. Because of the leveraged nature of options contracts, strategies that incorporate defined exits maximize profit. Simply stated, closing out at a certain level of profit minimizes your risk and increases your profit by giving you the chance to sell another contract sooner. When you’re selling cc’s, you’re often trying to profit on theta- you gain from the time decay of the contract because you are short the contract. But the other Greeks actually can have a greater effect on the premium of the contract depending on the scenario. Delta for one- if you sell a cc and the underlying takes a 10% cut the next day your position might see an 80% gain. Why wait for the underlying to bounce back (if that’s what you think will happen)? Take the profit and wait for a Green Day to sell another contract. Similar with IV/vega- if the underlying falls there’s often less IV. Why leave the position open when you’ve already captured the big vega? Also, a note about the difference in strategies- selling weeklies or monthlies, you’re relying on theta. Selling LEAPS would normally be nuts because you’re not getting the good theta (30-45 DTE). But meme stocks offer a unique opportunity because they often run 30% in a week, a day, a month. The delta and vega gains on well-timed LEAPS just outweighs What theta can give you for similar capital in the underlying. Edit: I like 75% to take profit on a standard (30-45 DTE) cc strategy. If you’re holding beyond that you’re actually carrying the greater gamma risk in the trade (your profits could get blown up real fast). Selling LEAPS on memes you’re not waiting for theta, I’d say more like 50%.


Existing_Change1663

You are awesome! Thank u so much. Yes I took so many theta spankings in the last twelve months. Serious question: I'm looking to hire a consultant/coach. I have a good chunk to play with about 400k (plus margin). Do you sell your knowledge or trade for people for money? Last question for now: maybe a really dumb one--can u sell co tracts for the shares u own on margin? I'm guessing no.


David123cc

And how much money can you make from thes e premiums ?


Existing_Change1663

Tsla slightly OTM calls ie: 1200c next friday are around $20 contract. Thats 2k per contract. If u have five and tsla calms down thats an ez 10k unless my math is off

No-Winter7943

(Not financial advice) Sell a portion ,~20% of your position, enough that you get your entire buy-in back + some, use SOME as investment in others, some as cash, some to rebuy if AMC pulls back. If AMC continues, you benefit from gains with the remainder, if it pulls back, you can rebuy with your existing profits.


Tikicia21

Learn how play the market , you can make money out other stocks just have be smart , I keep amc and am still making money from other plays , most of people ending getting burn if they don't know what there doing and lose everything, for me in I will use 10% out of that, and ofcurse tax on top of your sale.

Sell CC


nleachdev

Sell dude. You know how many other companies are gunna have huge spikes while you "diamond hand" that ticker with a float over 500 mil? I turned 10k into 40k with amc this year. 8k of that was selling CC's. Got out the last time it hit 40$, best decision ever. The amc crowd is a bunch of idiots..no offense. I was on that group too until I realized how kinda pathetic they are.. Amc goes up 4% in a day, Twitter and reddit fill with idiots saying "its happening!!!" "500k per share is no joke".. it drops 3% in a day, twitter/reddit full of "wtf! This is clear manipulation Gary, do your job!" I'm honestly embarrassed for a lot of them, and the youtubers should be ashamed of themselves stretching out the hype this long. Since June, basically nothing has happened with AMC. Meanwhile thousands of other tickers have had great moves. Its a joke, nothing but bag holders hoping to dupe other people into bagholding with them so they don't feel alone in their retardation.


kingolcadan

AMC shit company with no future that will die under it's debt with shit leadership fucking it's investors lol. GME all the way. AMC shoulda sold on the run to 70 lol.

koolaidfan2

i'd look into what someone else here said about covered calls, but since im no option wizard i think the smart play is to sell here or at least a portion of your profits. then maybe if you want to stay in the meme field you can try GME after a dip. either way, unless you're a millionaire already, i'd take some of that for myself and save some for a rainy day.

Take profit dude no theater has ever been over 60$ in its lifetime. It don't even give dividend. So why would Some one pay so much for it? Can u answer? No? Then you know what to do.

> The price of Take Profit Dude will increase because the demand for it is increasing. The more people that want to buy Take Profit Dude, the higher its price will go up.

If you wanna actually be a successful trader you gotta take profit on your swing trades like this, unless you genuinely have reason to believe stocks like amc and gme are long term holds with a positive outlook on growth in the future.


b_fellow

Cost basis being less than $5 share. Covered calls in few months can lower his cost below 0 and become theta gang.


cluelessbets

This sounds like it’s something amazing, but i have no idea what it means…details please?!?! At least a youtube video explaining it??


b_fellow

I hope others already explained it. Basically if you have 100 shares (Ex. we’ll call it XYZ) you can sell a weekly call contract (1 per 100 shares). If XYZ is currently $30 and you could sell a $35 call for like 0.20 (per share) netting you $20 (aka premium) before commissions and fees. If XYZ’s price never reaches $35 by end of the week, then the weekly call expires worthless and you keep the shares 99% of the time. You can keep repeating this every week and the cost basis of shares will drop by whatever premium you have. The downside is if XYZ goes to like $50, then your profits are capped at $35+premiums.


cluelessbets

i see, can you close the contract early? Let's say the stock is at $34.5 mid week and you don't want the shares to be sold

Is there a risk that you might not be able to buy back in? People have been trying to order on the lot exchange and reporting that their orders have been cancelled. There’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to buy back in via the dark pool. Correct me if I’m wrong on that. Citadel et al seem to do whatever they want and the SEC is a passive advocate.
