i sold put option on Tesla on 490 expires on March 20. I don't have too much cash to buy back. What's the alternatives? Thank you so much.
Either way, you will take a very large loss unless, TSLA goes up. If you do not have cash, you will get a margin call because you have a liability to sell TSLA at $490 and that will be exercised. There are 4 trading days left. I do not know if your broker will wait that long. If TSLA continues to go down, the losses will pile up.
You do have enough cash to buy TSLA? I assume you would need enough margin to open such a position in the first place. Some people have come up with the idea of: short put > covered call > short put > covered call > repeat.
why are these posts always made by some 2 or 3 post turkey???? are they trolls, or existing users afraid to admit a loss ??
I shorted the stock directly, covered this morning around $480! Will short again if it every skyrockets to infinity
