I Traded STOCK OPTIONS as a Beginner - and it Actually Worked!

Рет қаралды 37,391

Ай бұрын

I Learned what stock options are and just using basic strategies I bought and sold stock options and actually turned a significant profit in a short time! Turns out options can be way more profitable than regular stocks, but they could also cause way more of a loss (but only to a certain point?) Find out some of the ins and outs in this video.

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

@kurtKking 26 күн бұрын

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

You should try selling shorted put options. You don't need to invest any of your own money, and even if you 'lose' in the option and have to buy the stock, you still get to buy it with at the discount of the premium you received from the buyer. Since you'd then own the stock, you could potentially sell it later on for a capital gain, which is more likely since you would've bought the stock during the dip, which means greater returns could be made once the stock price goes higher. I'm only 15 tho so idk if that makes any sense or not

@IIiiZero0 Ай бұрын

Man stock options definitely works for me. I’m 15 and I went from 50$ to 250$ in options. Then I wasted it all on the school vending machines because I was hungry 😅. But I will try again these months.

18:07 the loss is also pretty insane, as an option trader i must say you were really lucky if not you would have lost it all. Also kindly add disclaimers, option trading is extremely volatile if not approached properly with proper guidance and psychology it could lead to heavy losses. Some people just see the profit and go for option trading resulting in losses and capital wiping out.

playing with stock options is gambling. straight up. full stop. it comes with all the downsides of gambling; anxiety, depression, addiction, etc, etc, etc. know this and if you insist on proceeding, do so with great caution by approaching it like a professional gambler would. expect to lose everything on that hand. so don't bet too much. and don't bet too often. wait, wait, waaaaaaiiiit for the ideal setup. unfortunately the only way to identify an ideal setup is to spend much of your life working hard studying what an ideal setup might look like. most of your time will be spent studying, not trading.

Selling contacts is definitely the easy way to make money your chances are higher of profiting when you sell because the majority of the options ends worthless so when you get that premium up front u want the option to end up worthless it’s like your the casino letting people gamble their money and you take theirs and you can set the terms of when u want to sell so technically u don’t lose the only difference is that you do need a little more money to sell options

when u r in the money and it expires you automatically have to buy 100 of the stock. the closer the expiration the ore it moves. Easy to play with small money but when it comes to making 10 times more or 100 times more its a different psychology which more panic takes over. Watch out for stocks that do not have volume or else it would be harder to sell or the bid and ask price can be a high gap. It is not as easy as you present it but its a start.

stock options is just betting on the stock. CFD, ETFs whatever, everything is a bet on the asset, it isnt buying/selling the asset. Hence why you can make much more money betting on it than buying it.

@mobiusx8117 Ай бұрын

If you are a seller of options, taking advantage of the time value decay (theta) of options, keep in mind that the options will auto-exercise at 4PM on the day of expiration if they are $0.01 in the money at the market close (4PM Eastern time). ALSO - keep in mind that the options trading desk is open until 5:30PM Eastern, so if your options move into the money in after-hours trading (4-5:30PM Eastern), the buyer of the options can EXECUTE them by calling their brokerage. So, even though your short calls/puts may be out of the money on the date of expiration at 4PM, they may move into the money after hours and you may find the next day that your options have been exercised and you have purchased (in the case of short puts) or sold short (in the case of short calls) many hundreds of shares!

Pin this comment!!!! This is a warning to all that are curious about options trading with close expiration dates. Option contract have math built into them that determines their market value. There is something called the Greeks and there are a few different ones. Theta in this context of short term expiring options contract put or calls effect the options Contract more significantly because there is no time premium. As time tics down to the expiration value is sucked out of the contract and is profitable to the seller of the option contract. Something to keep in mind.

@Kingmcnees23 Ай бұрын

Implied volatility is also something that is overlooked in this video. Volatility On base level represents the possible size of a possible move in the stock price in the future. When volatility is increased, the premium (cost of the contracts) rises based on the potential of a larger move. As a buyer of the contract this affects you the most. You can make an accurate prediction on where the stocks price will go and STILL LOSE!!! This is one of the most overlooked things when it comes to new option traders.
