Sandwich edition

>I'm new to the stock market, what stocks should I buy?
Before you buy anything, make a brokerage account and read investopedia articles and/or the books in the OP list. If you don't have a broker, you can't buy stocks, and if you blindly buy things without understanding how the stock market works or doing any research on the individual stocks you're buying, you will lose money and it will be entirely your fault.

I second this.

With oil prices rising gas prices are going to be really high in california, back when oil was in the $40 range california implemented a tax on gas. The tax wasn't really noticable because the oil market was in a slump. Now with oil rising it will be very noticable. People are going to want to leave. On top of that the whole making it mandatory for females to be on board of directors is going to drive corporations out of town.

I think I speak on behalf of all Texans when I say we need more Californians in this horribly conservative and business friendly prison we call the lone star state. with your help we can reverse these crimes. truly every Californian is an hero and deserves nothing but guaranteed basic income and nonligitable insider information for every investment just for their upstanding service to our country!

We are sick you Cali punks coming over and turn this into a Western styled Cali, fuck that gay shit. If you shit in your bed then you sleep in it.

Ok so lets say I longed a call @ 49.5 for 0.84
I paid 84 USD + commission Correct?
If price for call @ 49.5 goes to 0.96
can I sell now for 96USD - commision ?

Yes but only during market hours. It's generally kind of uncommon to hold a contract all the way to expiration.

>Yes but only during market hours
kinda same with stocks no?

Some brokers let you buy and sell stocks for a limited period after hours. Not so with options

>tfw I live In Austin

I feel like I'm missing out on Texas desu

oh, yeah I think its not an option for me

ok lets go further
It is clear price for my call goes up if expiration is closer and price is >49.5
If that is correct, lets say I have same call 49.5 for 0.84. price of the stock is currently @ 53 and option expires hour from now.
What happens to my account in an hour?
I know I can "buy >=49.5" but what does it really mean ?

Warm weather actually exacerbates the stench of human excrement and urine that permeates the state. But I will say that upper north near places like Lassen Park or further east near Nevada are much nicer.

Saudi Arabia’s public prosecutor has charged a man, identified by activists as a prominent economist who once criticized plans to float shares of Saudi Aramco, with joining a terrorist organization and meeting with foreign diplomats.

Your option expires and your broker will execute it. They take 4950 bucks from your account and buy 100 shares of the underlying stock from whichever bastard wrote the contract you bought. Those 100 shares are worth more than 4950, they're worth 5300 because the stock is worth 53 bucks apiece. You can then do whatever with those 100 shares, sell them or hold them.

BUY NBGV
the cbd industry is gonna need hemp boys. Its a good time to invest in established hemp farming stocks before the demand outweighs the supply.

oooooooooh now I get it, so what happens when it is the opposite of that: my option expires with price on expiration is 48 instead? From a definition of "right to buy" I assume my position goes to zero since I dont have to buy lower then my call so Im losing 84 initial dollars in my case? Or does the broker execute my position same way so Im in 1.5$ per share in loss?

what do you guys do while waiting for your stocks to moon? just drugs?

Fuck you mgm

what the fuck happened to GERN???? I sold it week ago and now its worthless

Correct, your don't have to buy the shares. In that case your option would just expire worthless and you would have nothing to show for it. Remember, around 60-70% of options end up expiring worthless, the longer you hold them the greater the chances of something happening that results in them being worth zero dollars. Also the strike price (45 dollars in the case above) doesn't exactly match the price you need to get above/below to make a profit. This is because there is a premium associated with writing and buying contracts. Your broker should list the Breakeven price, that's the real number you have to beat. This can be a few cents to a couple bucks above/below the strike price.

>The biopharmaceutical company reported ($0.04) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, meeting analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.04). The business had revenue of $0.21 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $0.21 million. Geron had a negative return on equity of 23.15% and a negative net margin of 3,232.73%. sell-side analysts predict that Geron Co. will post 0.39 EPS for the current fiscal year.

>ValuEngine lowered Geron from a “hold” rating to a “sell” rating in a research note on Thursday.

I bought $100 worth of ge puts this morning. 10/19 11.5 strike just to get my feet wet. When should I sell?

Those are all things that happened, but they're technical results of a change in the company's fundamentals
The reason it lost its value is because it lost its partnership with Johnson and Johnson, not because of insider sales, earnings, or technical analysis bot 3000 (ValuEngine)
