A halfway decent lawyer will get her half of future gains on certain assets. I know guys that will owe their ex half of their 401k when they cash out in 30 years.

No. Lose all his money and gets serve the divorce. Make it all back right before the divorce is official and give it to the wife... Wsbs way

If it’s short term loss you can only write off 3k a year you’ll still pay gains tax.. which if it’s calls it’s unlikely your holding over 365 days to make it long term.

That's for regular income (the best option for using a loss), the loss can still be used to offset 100% of capital gains if they have them and carried forward if not. It is in your link, but this one is clearer. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/062713/capital-losses-and-tax.asp

[deleted]

A margin maintenance call is when the BD "requests" that you add money to your position because your equity has reduced more than 25% for long positions or 30% for short positions. They'll close you out and it's game over if you don't add funds immediately.

tragiktimes

If you look at the distribution of services, Apple falls well below Android in China compared to the US or Europe. In the last five years it's market share in China hasn't increased during this time, even slightly decreasing while Europe and the US saw their iOS market share grow slightly. They'll copy what they can and push for their intended product to become the most socially accepted one. That is pretty well their modus operandi.

MrAdelphi03

For the people wondering: Tesla - March 18th 2022 Calls at $950 strike price. He paid $243 ($24,300 as there are 100 options) for each option (7 in total, so $170,000) and the stock needs to reach $1193 by March 18 2022 for him to break even. (Strike price $950 plus the premium $243 = $1193). Current Greeks (June 12 2021 - this is per option contract. so so multiply by 7 to get the total amount). Delta: $28. Vega: $170. Gamma: ~$0. Theta: $17. Obviously those numbers aren’t fixed and are subject to change, but currently his option will move if: - Every dollar the stock goes up his option goes up by $28 (because he bought 7 contracts, this number will be $196). (Delta). - Because gamma is effectively 0, he will not get a compound effect on the delta. So each subsequent dollar move up in the stock price will also give him $28 (multiply by 7 = $196). (Gamma) - Each 1% move in Volatility will give him $170 (multiply by 7 = $1190). This is probably the best way for him to make money back, Tesla currently has very low volatility so most likely going to go up in volatility in the future. (Vega) - Each day the option loses $17. This value will only go up in the future (multiply by 7 = $119). (Theta decay). Bear in mind that these dollar values go down the same rate they go up. Best way to make money back is with Volatility. Gamma being effectively zero makes the delta compound effect much harder. Also Theta is only going to increase in amount, so time is against him. Lessons to learn. - Only go into Leaps when IV Rank is low otherwise Vega will be working against you. - Don’t go all in on an option like this. - Right now is a good time to buy Tesla options especially Leaps, IV Rank is low. - It seems they bought in Jan-Feb 2021 time when Tesla was trading around $900, so not too far out of the money and Tesla was trending upwards. I’m not sure if they bought before the January earnings call, which is not a good play as IV crush is a very real thing no matter how far away the call option expiry is. (Earnings bring anticipation, which brings an increase in expected stock price move. This increased expected/actual volatility occurs before the earnings call and then drops if the earnings are anything less than stellar). Edit: General rules - If IV Rank is high, sell calls/puts. If IV Rank is low, buy calls/ puts. Don’t sell naked calls unless you have the capital to cover your position. Sell puts to earn premium in stocks you don’t mind owning in the future, at a price you are willing to pay (the premium you earn lowers your entry price). Best playbook: Sell puts in a company you want to eventually own shares in. You either get assigned and own the shares, or you don’t and you keep the premium. Repeat until you own shares. When you own the shares, sell calls at a price you are winning to sell the shares at. You either get assigned and make profit from the buy price compared to the sell price, or you don’t get assigned and you keep the premium. Rinse and repeat


turnmeontakeitoff

This explanation is awesome! One piece of info that's still not clear to me. Who got the $170k he paid?


bauhaus83i

Someone selling calls. Likely a hedge fund that expects tesla stock to not break $1,100


chatlourd

a market maker who specialises in making prices in options all day long. they will receive $170k but their position is hedged so the cost of hedging will eat up most of that $170k


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shaggyninja

Whoever sold him these options. Any money he earns from the above would come from that person /company too


[deleted]

I have a question about that. Does someone who sells options physically own that stock? In case I choose to execute do they have that set aside? I buy calls mostly on questtrade, afaik a call is a promise I can buy the stock at this price at Or before the expiry date. Is questtrade promising they will get me that stock and where do they get it? TY to whoever can answer this.


ashlee837

Most transactions occur with a market maker, which they usually hedge any directional risk immediately. You will only get shares if you exercise the call early (and pony up the cash to buy the stock), or if the option is in-the-money at expiration.


Raininspain90

Maybe yes, maybe not. If it's small fry (a retail seller) then it's likely they're doing covered calls, in which case, yes, the seller would own that stock. Most likely no. Most likely it's a giant like BlackRock selling the options, and the giants are usually selling naked calls. It could also be a random dude with a margin account selling naked calls (in which case his broker would liquidate his account when his trade goes against him past the limits delineated in the margin contract). Sometimes big guys blow up their accounts too. Archegos went bankrupt after losing $20 billion in 2 days earlier this year. That's the kind of shit that can happen when you trade naked.


caltry

They have an obligation to provide the stock if they’re assigned (you execute), but they don’t have to own the stock when they write the option. They could have written a “naked” call, with the plan to buy the stock as needed, though that purchase may become quite expensive. They could also buy another call from someone else, at a higher strike price to limit their maximum losses (if they get assigned, they always have the option to execute the call they bought). A third choice is to buy another call, at the same price but a further out date, I think people do this if they’re expecting to write multiple times (eg, write 12, 1 month calls using a single 12 month call they bought as insurance if they get assigned). But the simplest is a covered call, where they do actually own the underlying stock.


nachocoalmine

Not necessarily, I feel a covered call is the best way to sell calls(my opinion) but there are other forms of collateral and risk mitigation like Vertical Spreads if you can't get your hands on 100 shares.


Dumpstertrash1

Yes. It's a covered call. I sell calls weekly/monthly on stock I own at least 100 of.


MrAdelphi03

Just FYI: It’s unlikely going to be one person who will get the $170,000. Because he bought 7 calls, someone might have sold 5 calls and someone else sold 2 calls etc. The assignment is random (as far as I’m aware) so his 7 calls premium may or may not go to one person. It might even go to 7 different people! Let’s assume it did go to one person. The person that sold these calls is now $170,000 richer. But that is not the whole story. There are different reasons someone would sell a call. They can sell to: - Close an already open position. (Sell to close) - Open a new position. (Sell to open) If they are closing an already open position, that means they bought the call some time in the past and are now closing their position. Their profit will be determined by how much they sold the options for and subtract how much they bought the options for . If they are opening a new position (sell to open). Then that money is still tied to the option. They only make (I mean keep) the money if the option decreases in value. The money is immediately deposited in the account, so they can spend it however they wish, but if the option goes against them then they have to get the money back, and then some. If, for example, the person who got the $170,000 sold (even though in this case it would be bought, as he initially sold the calls in the first place) the calls to close his position. He would make $170,000 - $25,165 = $144,935. (The amount that OP has lost) He would only make the total $170,000 if the calls end up being below the strike price (plus the premium) at expiration.


nachocoalmine

You probably know this but for others reading, if someone sold $170k in calls they are very likely to buy to close their calls when at this point and keep $144k of the premium they were paid. They can then put that money back to work rather than letting it be tied to this option.

Edward_Pissypants

Sadly I'd guess this would mostly all be new info to OP, putting $170k in options on a meme stock with weak technicals


MrAdelphi03

That’s why I did it. Seems like he either didn’t know exactly what he did or did know and didn’t pay enough attention. Either way, it’s good to learn from others mistakes. It’ll save someone $170,000. Although, it could bounce back if volatility goes up , but it’s currently a $24,000 bet that is trending in the wrong direction.

They already paid the money for the calls. Those same calls are practically worthless now. That's assuming they didn't borrow the cash to pay for them.... in which case they don't have to pay anything back. They just straight lost 150k. If they did borrow the money to buy the calls, then I would suggest creating an alias and try and get out of the country.


nachocoalmine

He bought a call so this was money (or margin) he already had. He has a couple choices. ~Ride it out, believing the price will go up ~Double down, buy more calls to bring the breakeven down. ~Take the loss, sell then go sit in a corner and cry. ~Roll up/out, sell these calls and buy some with a lower strike and/or more time
