One last 101 question.... I thought that If you put a call option in the idea is for the stock to go up and the oppisite with a put option...How come when you show your plays..Above- You but a put option for (let's say) 1.09 and sold it for 1.20 for a 20% gain.. I thought it would be like this for a gain..Bought at 1.09 sold at .90 cents for a gain....
Forget last question..Something is wrong with their software they are trying to fix it.
Blasher i will prob subscribe this weekend BUT I do have another question???
Do you know or does anyone have tdameritrade??? How do you follow a option like a stock????
Example: I can add a stock to my watchlist and watch the bid/ask and level2"s all day.....BUT how do you do that with options....
The guy said when you buy options it's the first 3 letters (QQQ) then followed by (AV) which in this cass would be a call(BUY) but nomatter what i try i cannot find anything to track that symbol..Am i doing somthing wrong????
blasher,
Can you give me a example of my buy from my tdameritrade format??? on a option purchase. step by step then i will have it down..There is nothing on my option page that says puts and calls here is what i have to work with...
here is how my screen is laid out:
On the single order screen:
First thing you pick is buy,sell or exercise!
Then you pick: to open or to close
then you pick:Number of contracts
Then you pick the symbol
then order type
then price
That's it..So i do not see where to pick put or call....
So what would you click if you where buying QQQQ ( put)tonight?
And how much do you usually spend on a call or put to make 5%?
is your average a contract 1,000 dollars?
let's say QQQQ is 47.99....After this i think i got it...Arn't you sorry you said i could ask you any questions...Who knows maybe in a month from now i will be saying how your sytem has made me the jack.......lol
Blasher, ok some more 101 options please..Your last email was great..Options are like trading stocks BUT here are a couple more option 101 questions.....
1. On tdameritrade there is a exercise button below the others when would you need to use this??? if you use the buy"to open" and the SELL "to close" buttons..
2. also lets look at your profits and if you would give me a example..Look at the one listed on top
Dec-$52 CALL (QQQLZ) 12/03/2007 @ 0.95 12/03/2007 @ 1.03 + 8 %
Ok i see the stock option you told people to purchase QQQLZ
It looks like you bought it for .95 and sold for 1.o3 a 8% gain.
So when tdameritrade askes #of contracts(=100 shares) how many do you normally buy to make money?
Where does the $52 come in at??? Is that the amount of contracts???
So if i bought on 12/3 i would have said "buy" "to open" (Call)price .95 number of contracts (52)? stock QQQLZ??? is it that easy????
One last thing if it is a PUT you want to buy it would be BUY to CLose or Buy to open???? Sorry for the questions after i get this down pat i will be ready...
Thanks
Thanks..This is making more sense now...I am sure i will have a couple more questions but thanks for your patience....
Johnny
blasher..
Here come the option 101 questions..Sorry but as always thanks for your help..Like i said i have only traded stocks not options so the terms might get me so i figured i would ask...
I understand a call and a put option but on td amertrade when i go to my option tradings it says"
Buy to open #of contracts________
sell to close Symbol__________
exercise
Price__________
These are my options to use..So when you place a call or put where does the "to open or to Close" box need to be checked???
And when you purchase 10 contracts of qqqq do you set the price or is it pre-determined??? I know these sound lke 101 questions ( and they prob are, But please bear with me just trying to learn the option buying better)
Thanks
BLASHER

Nice site, Earnings is what it is all about!!!! If you can find the ones where the earnings are above the concenses then weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......... But thats the key!!!! Thanks for the info....Most of my stock picks are off of earnings i am glad i found your site....
Here is a post from another board..Conversation with the CEO..This looks positive.. This is not my conversation but another investors. Here it is for you to read...
Well I called and talked to Arne Dunhem for a few minutes. It was a very candid conversation about the direction of the company and his thoughts on its future.
Firstly he referred to the 8k filed on the 18th of Sept. He noted that it was a huge relief to have that debt removed and that this filing has opened new doors for his company to get back to making profits. With the 8k filed he is now able to pursue more profitable acquisitions in which he has a few that he is currently looking at. He is looking to make moves through these acquisitions that through their profits would remove all of the debt of AWYI. Ultimately raising the value of the stock. I asked if this would happen in the next year or longer, to which his response was the hopefully the next two months. If this happens there will of course be the valued PR. Additionally he stated that he is not looking for a reverse merger opportunity but would rather maintain AWYIs presence and proceed with new acquisitions. He stated this has piqued the interest of other large investors. Arne sounded very level headed and has a clear direction for his company. Of course these plans may not come to fruition and as always with CEO's take everything with a grain of salt.
yes this stock is rip for the picking...Chart looks good if it goes to .0010 we could be off to the races..Vol starting to come in...JMO
Today was a great day...Infiniti stocks turned me onto this at 2.00...2 weeks ago.... i bought at 2.03 sold at 2.30 then rebought at 2.07 when it dipped for a couple days last week..Now today up 21% to 2.70 wowowooww... They say there is really no resistance until around 4.00 and with all the good prs we could see 5.00 before the end of the year!!!!!! Very excited about this one...
