Update - I've closed all of my inclusion event calls. I did well overall - not nearly as well as I was doing after those 3 days of "to the moon...
As somebody with those 1 and 2 year options I've sold, unless I got a really good deal on the options with that duration, I would and will target...
In the short term (3-8 days, or even 3-13 days), also look at Theta (time decay) and realize that as a % it accelerates as you approach expiration...
Part of that learning experience, at least for me, has been creeping too close on my covered call strikes (ouch - that stove is hot). Then again,...
I consider this to be a great way to start. The only thing I would add is that you don't need to be in a rush to take on additional risk - do...
I decided this morning that the inclusion trade is over for me. You can all thank me as I've been an outstanding indicator for local bottoms in...
That's good stuff, and thank you for posting. I've already got a massive Roth IRA (sheer dumb luck, not planning, put my original TSLA purchase...
I've been thinking about this as well, and I think that the option prices are probably "wrong" every weekend and off hours after trading, and that...
My own experience with selling covered calls is that I'm earning much less than with selling covered puts. I keep getting caught out by big up...
Hallelujah! The way I think about this - the point isn't retirement per se. Rather, at least for me, it's about achieving financial...
I use the 4% rule as a thumb to the wind that maybe it's time to have conversation(s) with family and financial planners. I wouldn't use it as a...
My wife and I are similar - no kids, our primary house is paid off. No pensions, but the retirement accounts are well funded (thank you TSLA)....
Congrats on the imminent retirement! I appreciate the mention, and I'm going through a similar decision making process myself right now...
Update to my original post about when the TSLA share price is actually being used to calculate the index value. This is the original press...
I love the Disagrees - I really do. I'm hoping for better information from anybody, including the ones that Disagree. I'm far from an expert -...
I don't know the source or methodology that yields this insight (details of which would be extremely valuable), but even the unsubstantiated claim...
Serious answer - if we take the Closing Cross order imbalance as our best estimate of how many shares the indexes still need, then I'd say they...
Over the weekend, I'll be looking for posts from people going and looking up the index ETF to see what their new position is in TSLA, and whether...
For the disagrees, here's what I found for how the opening price is determined on NASDAQ: How NASDAQ's Opening and Closing Cross Works The brief...
I think none of the above. It'll be based on the Opening Cross, Monday morning. That'll be the indexes next chance to get the shares they need.
That was apparently the MOC price that maximized paired shares in the closing cross.
Please keep these coming
Who has visibility into the closing cross data as it evolves
Maybe it's buy-to-close specifically that is the unrestricted trade type late in the day (the more options that are positively closed, the fewer...
I sold my CCs yesterday or Wednesday (already I don't remember). I would have definitely been better by waiting until today, but at $610 per...
I don't know of anything that conflicts with selling CCs in the final 10 minutes. I know I've done the other side - carrying a short option into...
An article that crossed my Fidelity news feed this morning claimed that 20% of the float is held by retail. I think that's more than I would have...
Since I personally am emotionally unable to sell shares, but I AM willing and able to sell covered calls, option 2 is what I would go with,...
Another day, another roll :) I probably should have moved the original position (that I opened on Wednesday, and rolled yesterday) straight out...
As a sometimes reader of this thread since 2012, I can tell you that earlier in that window (all but the last 2 or 3 years), we had two threads...
Sure thing. I have Jan '21 500s I paid 27.50 for (@174 now), 700s I bought in two bunches for a blended 22.60 entry (@46 now), and 800s with a $7...
I would be better off having waited to today or Mon-Wed next week. That being said, like you're talking about, for CC I work the near and next...
I've been thinking about why it's been so easy for me to hold through the ups and downs. The first reason, on the ups, is that unless an up is...
I think they will attempt in the opening cross on Monday as well. But the larger issue is the same - to the degree that they aren't buying...
Funny how that works; I am exactly the same (minus recovering badly losing positions by waiting an extra day). I missed out on the run today by...
I think that in this case, you'll be realizing a big loss for this tax year. You'll also be losing a big hunk of portfolio value, as you'll be...
Yes, the call owner can exercise their call at any time. If/when they do, the assignment happens randomly to somebody that sold the call, which...
After clearing out my 12/18 and 12/24 long calls yesterday (pretty much caught the bottom yesterday - go me! /s), I got started again selling...
As with FrankSG, I'm pretty sure there are many with more IV knowledge than I. Acquire big hunk of salt, begin chewing, and .... My guess is...
Even though I think I successfully caught the bottom of the market yesterday when clearing out my 12/18 and 12/24 long calls, I immediately felt a...
I'm usually much closer to ITM than this particular position. As I mentioned though, I'm feeling a bit gun-shy about my predictions of the market...
My bad - I was looking at the end result cash received, and that hit my income number. You're right :)
One reason I can see - it provides sellers an opportunity to transact a bunch of shares at a known price without moving the market a lot (the...
It would change the level of backing needed for those existing short puts, and enable additional sales of puts. Whether I actually do the...
I'm curious about those low premium puts you're selling - do you let them go to expiration to get every last penny, or are you closing them early...
Another question around margin - I have a Cash position (cash secured put) that I'd like to move over to a Margin position. I'm at Fidelity if...
Following up on this covered call plan... My original plan was to be looking at a covered call position sometime next week or the week after, and...
Have you been also ending up with a margin loan / position, and paying interest as a result? Or do those puts rely on the portfolio margin as...
My Jan calls are 500/700/800. My original plan was hoping they would gain and retain their value into the first week of January, and close then....
I did sell some 565 puts for 12/18. Feeling very gun-shy right now :)
