    One VERY important caveat to options...Just because they are out of the money when the market closes doesn't mean they won't get assigned...Ford could close at $7.04 on Friday and then fall to $6.98 after hours and your $7 put options are in the money and will be exercised...ALWAYS close anything close that you can't pay for. Options are technically in play until Saturday morning...after the Friday after hours trades have settled...But you can't close it after hours, it can only be exercised without your involvement.

    You're probably looking at Ford being pinned at $7 as Friday closes...read about pinning here...Basically all the action around that $7 put/call causes the stock to get stuck or "Pinned" at $7 as people cover...

    Hmm...really got my eye on VXX right now...If things keep going like this it's going to be in the $23 range by friday. I would suggest picking up a DEC $25 Call to take advantage of a Volatility spike between now and then...I own the $40 and $30's...Ready for election shennanigans

    and I'm still trying to figure out when to close my $25 18OCT20 PUTS for maximum profit...It might be tomorrow before options close on friday and increase volatility. And then I can buy them back on that spike

    I know it man! It triggers me too :rofl:
    I don’t typically buy IPO’s, but this is a big one and I need some more tech in my life. I’m gonna take a chance on it.

    I wonder if given the nature of IPO's if CRWD would be a better buy today and get a stock at it's real price instead of the IPO inflated and then dip...

    I'm sitting on a few CRWD OCT $130 calls. Break even is $142. I'm willing to let those ride for a bit.

    I also might have picked up some TSLA OCT $440 calls at the opening dip. Yeah, I'll sell those shortly. lol

    I also got a day trade notice in my IRA yesterday. So, it's official in both accounts. I'm a PDT. lol

    Crude inventory is out in 12 minutes. Once you see the actual vs the forecast you'll understand why. That said, I sold all my UCO Monday. lol

    @FirstTimeTaco2020 how stupid...

    Make a CLEARLY political post, and preface it with "This is political, but...". Of course it's going to get reported. Of course it will get you banned. I try to let you guys have a little bit of rope to have meaningful discussion, but if you're going to do that and get reported I won't even try to protect you from another's mod's hammer.

    How long did he get a time out for? And did he make it into the banned hall of fame thread yet? I'll look for it once I'm done loosing my donuts.

    Thanks for the heads up/warning.
