This one as it makes no sense: And this one is borderline as it barely makes sense: And if you feel like it, perhaps you should do this as you seem to be an expert on the subject: I'd wait till you come down off of whatever the fuck you're using this morning though bro. You're kinda out there today my friend. Not your usual self. It is Saturday though, so I guess you "pro's" can only fire up the dank on weekends. Good thing. Obviously.
Take up my suggestion for a new thread. You might be helping "95,600 amateurs" assuming they read the thread and act on it. It might be your key to heaven.
On monday, sell call $20 strike a couple of week out for .50 cap gains and .20 call premium. About $4900 profit, if HAL closes above $20 at expiry. If not you still make $1400 call premium alone. Then repeat until called away...
If somebody makes a merger offer at $30 you are out $65100. Should I suggest that ET be renamed Amateur Trader's Corner?
Would you chill. Lyle mistakenly assumed (obviously) he was assigned the shares. This: He obviously missed the post where the OP said he closed for $.03. Geez Z!
This thread is lucky to have someone like you who recognizes other peoples "obvious "mistakes but you should have given him the opportunity to explain himself. Further you are assuming for Lyle that the OP would be happy to sit with a long position in Hal. In your scenario. if Hal should implode for whatever reason the OP could be sitting on substantial losses+ having his available capital tied up for a long period of time.
Who doesn't know what a mic drop is??? That ranks lower than newbies selling naked puts and not understanding the risks...
