Selling Options

I think I made it through with not switching around terms and how options work as far as selling vs buying and calls vs puts.

EDIT: At the time this blog entry was posted I had a Youtube video here. That has been removed but I want the rest of my content to be remain. Nothing hidden no past mistakes ignored. All out in the open.



As my closing comment stated, options can get really complicated. Perhaps more so then the average person  will be able to manage. But its something I feel should be learned and explored because they are a tool that we can use for the right job at the right time.

Continuing my option series where here I talk about my thoughts on buying options. They have lots of uses and there are many more scenarios then I discuss here.

What makes up the valuation of a stock option

Stock options give a lot of versatility in how they can be used but they can be complex in how they work. They do have lots of moving parts to keep straight and to keep in mind when deciding to use them or not. That might bring one to question if the average person, the Theoretical Family, can use them or not.
If a family is looking to replace their income with investing and trading then they HAVE to learn and explore their "options" available to them (pun intended). Without learning what is available they cannot expect to make the best decisions for their portfolio and their livelihood.

What are Stock Options?

Before anyone starts jumping in with "You forgot about X"... this is a VERY BASIC overview of stock options. I wanted to just go over them conceptually to start things off with.

Now this is not to say I will be jumping into them with the trading account. A big part of why I want to go over them is that stock options are very common and can be very appealing. The Theoretical Family has had 1.5 years to educate themselves and read up on things about the markets. Options should be an option... pun intended.
