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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Show us proof or shut your pie hole. Also, why would you sell now? You expecting it to go down again?

What did you pay for the option?
Also, options prices on 2024 leaps are pretty loose as there is not a lot of activity. You can’t “brag” about 30% gain unless you actually sell. Let us know when you do this and you can post it.

Doesn’t matter what I paid for it. It still doesn’t change the fact that my call is in the money.

Not bragging… Just stating the fact that currently, my call is up over 30%. I’ll let you know when I sell to give you the exact profit or loss #.

Dude, dz, I’ve traded options since I was 21…. You are just making shit up….

Just about every financial source who talks about “in the money option” means what I said, not your “alternative facts” definition of in the money option .

https://www.bankrate.com/investing/what-…

https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers…

And just about every other writen definition of this.

Show me one credible financial document from a reputable financial company that says “in the money option” includes strike price AND option premium paid…

Again, you’re just making shit up. Just like everywhere else in this thread.

You mad bro? Understandable, if you are on the wrong side of speculation=gambling trade

I don’t short and don’t trade options anymore because I figured out I’m better of sticking to things I’m comfortable and familiar with.

Just stick with baseball cards and you too will be fine

Regardless of definition, I can literally purchase an option that is technically “in the money” so that doesn’t mean shit.

So everything in this thread I made up? So Amazon is not bringing back workers 3 days a week? I just made that up? So interest rates are not going up? Just made that up too? What about tech stocks dumping in 2022, made that up too?

[Coronita]

An, in my humble opinion you should take your Netflix call options sell half of it and take the proceeds from that half and put it into a leap year call option for peloton. Yes, peloton is a crappy company but it would be really funny if some large fang company bought them like Amazon at some ridiculous valuation one step below speculative grade lotto ticket . If it doesn’t happen and your options expire worthless you’re still better off than you were before buying the Netflix call options.
But if it did happen you can laugh your ass off about how nonsensical it is

So then you admit, you don’t know what you are talking about when it comes to option trading and that your terminology is so far removed from what the industry standard definition is and what people mean by those words….

Just curious , how many option trades have you done?
How many option contracts have you bought?
How many option contracts have you written, like covered calls?
How many straddles?

What? You’re saying now we’re living an alternative universe where industry standard definition no long mean shit? So, can we also say the same about WFH doesn’t mean shit or market crashing doesn’t mean shit?

Congratulations on your wins, guys. Have had some great investment advisors, and I leave most of it to them, however, I did luck out with AMZN back in the day, when I was young and looking at all investment opportunities, along with real estate.

Even though lots of people thought it would never work, lots of people were excited about it, and everyone I knew decided to take their chances and roll the dice, so I decided to do the same.

LOL…

GOOOOALLLL!!!!

The thing is inflation and higher wages can now justify high tech manufacturing in the US. This is the first time the US can get back to it.

What’s interesting will be companies like Global Foundaries which many thought would be dead….

I totally missed the boat on this one

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GFS

Global Foundaries was spun off from AMD decades ago….

9% gain alone today…

A lot words in those two articles (opinionated with data), but San Diego was called out as “raising star” tech hub along with Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, Miami, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Orlando.

Can anyone give me one good reason why San Diego won’t be as hot a tech hub as Silicon Valley (or any other place) ten years from now?
