I'm beginning to think you've already had that rum, or are running on lack of sleep, because you aren't seeming to hear what I''m saying. I am...
You're getting it all exactly right! Let me explain about the "buy the other side." If the market is dropping (or even if it is remaining close...
Seems like you aren't understanding that you can sell options on a "cash account" (whatever that is). When you open an account with Think or Swim,...
Think or Swim makes it easy to see how much margin you have with your cash account, simply by looking at "Monitor" and "Option Buying Power." It's...
