Calloptions

VIAC looking juicy for a short/putI don't own stock anymore, I, unfortunately, sold once it hit its fair value estimate of $57. If I owned stock I would either sell it or use some of it to sell calls against to take advantage of the inflated options premiums by collecting that weekly as it goes down. As you can see the separation between the moving averages and the stock price has gotten into nose-bleed territories, the RSI looks grossly overbought for an extended period of time. This party has to come to an end. Not saying this will crash like the overcooked QS did but I would say if you don't have any exposure an in-the-money put option would be nice. ITM put options will have strikes above the current stock price and they have the trade-off of being more expensive but having a higher probability of profit without depending on a severe decline. Looks to be overbought to an alarming level, look out below.

How to trade stocks with call and put options?How to trade stocks with call and put options? Why one may consider options trading? One may consider options trading to generate income, to hedge his or her portfolio, and to speculate the next price move. What is a call option? A call option allows the option buyer the right, but not the obligation to buy a security at a predetermined price within a specific time period. What is a put option? A put option allows the option buyer the right, but not the obligation to sell or sell short the specific security at a predetermined price within a specific time period. Why options trading involves substantial risks? Options are financial contracts with a predetermined expiration date. Options have a time decay factor. At the expiration date, option holders have to make a decision. Options holders may exercise the options if the options are in-the-money, to sell the options at the market values, or faced a capital loss if the option is out-of-the-money or may be completely worthless. How to read the option quote? Just an example. 1 Call XYZ March 17, 2021 140 Call $5 XYZ is the symbol for the underlying security. March 17, 2021, is the expiration date. $140 is the strike price. The strike price is the price at which the underlying security may be brought for call options. The strike price is the price at which the underlying may be sold for put options. $5 is the premium. Premium is how much it will cost the trader to purchase the option. One option equals 100 shares of the underlying security. Thank you for reading!

IWM Bullish LongIWM is an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which follows the Russell 2000 Small Cap Stock Index. I purchased call options (just regular, no spread) Strike 200 expiring Jan 2022 because I belive IWM has shown consistent bull market uptrend since November, and consistently uses the 10 Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as Support. IWM has shown better consistency, in my opinion, than SPY (ETF following S&P 500), and while QQQ (ETF that follows the Nasdaq 100 index) has outperformed most other major indexes in the past few years, IWM's lower prices made it more attractive to me. The growth may be slower than some other indexes; but as my first trading teacher stated, "You don't go broke making money." This may be a boring strategy, but I believe it will still be a profitable one. My stop loss plan is set below the 20 Day EMA. The yellow dotted line is the approximate price per share of stock when I purchased my calls earlier today. I am not certified or licensed by any individual or institution to give financial or investment advice. I consider myself to be an amateur investor and trader.

CRWD continued supportAfter recently breaking out, CRWD cooled off a little and is currently testing last weeks high. Look for support around the 126 range. Further confirming the uptrend is a bullish head and shoulders. A break downwards could put CRWD back in the previous channel. If CRWD continues to continue follow the short term uptrend I would consider taking a medium term position at the 132 mark. I would set a stop loss at around 124. Look for an upper target of at least 140.
