Participant[quote=Coronita]Netflix is up again. Your call options totally killing it.. good job. Nice speculation.
Pretty surprised at how the market is moving after the interest rate announcement and why I won’t bet against the markets and just do mostly DRIP into indexes.

But that said, are you going to sell and take your profit, or keep for the long term as was your original plan? How much do you believe in the future of Nflix and tech stocks at this point forward?

Well not surprising the market is up after Fed announcement, they only raised .25% and didn’t say anything the market wasn’t already expecting. One key difference I noticed was that in January they pledged to cut back balance sheet and specifically MBS purchases in March. This meeting they only said they plan to cut back balance sheet “soon”. So in that way it was more Dovish than before. As many predicted, they probably are using Ukraine situation as excuse to not carry through their mandate to get inflation down.

Uh. Yout definition of “in the money” option is definitely NOT the common definition, it’s something you made up to spin how wrong you are.
“In the money” call option means when the contract price is below the market price, and does NOT include the option premium. Your definition in the money call option of including both the strike price and the option premium paid is something you made up…
No one makes money in stock or options until one sells and completes the transaction, so we wait for AN to sell and hopefully make significant gain.
He bought a contract at $360. Stock $384/share now. Definitely in the money. If he sold at any point these past couple of days , he wins …Case closed. His speculation is no different than your short positions that are speculation and not investing, except his speculation seemed to have worked out.
I don’t understand why you try to spin how wrong you are and how his trade is no value. Seems to me he made money.

IEA. Fortunately, as an international organization, they have no authority to force states to issue “work from home” orders, and the US has a long history of disregarding the yipping of international organizations.
Nah, let oil prices rise. The higher oil stays, the more economic incentive there will be for renewables, nuclear power, and general electrification of society.

A win is a win.

Depends… I’m not selling it today. I never exercise an option, so I’m not going to start w/ NFLX. Which means I’ll sell between now and January 2024. When I sell it will be decided on when I think I can get the most option premium and when I think there might be a pullback. Just because there’s a pullback does not mean it won’t be higher 5 years from now. Trading options are vastly different than buying/selling stocks.March 18, 2022 at 11:25 AM #824444Guest[quote=Coronita]

STFU FLU you don’t know shit about options trading. If I bought a Netflix Call right now for $200 with strike price of $300 I would immediately be “in the money” according to you”. But I paid a major premium so hat doesn’t mean anything. Yes it went up in value in the last 3 days, if he sold it.
