    Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

    • @AnnelieseGretel
      @AnnelieseGretel 5 месяцев назад

      I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value.

      Currently real estate prices aren’t high because they have been driven up by irresponsible speculation. As was often the case in the past. Prices have risen because a constantly increasing population with money to invest has been created - and continues to be created.

    You should do a series where you trade options starting with $500 showing all trades when you make them (that day) and when you sell them (that day) and go till you hit like 50K or 100k . I like to see it done

    Lately I've been selling put options on LABU. It seems to oscillate between $6-$8 for the past few months. What I do is wait for for a big red day and if it's $7 or lower I sell a put a month out. If it runs up early I buy the put to close. If not then I can wait the whole month. It's 3x leveraged so it moves big. If I'm wrong I at least got shares at a decent price.

What's the actual mechanics of what will happen? Do I have to cough up cash to buy the underlying and deliver them? Or can I deliver the leap option?

    I got denied options by Robinhood. Their exact words were "NO OPTIONS FOR YOU! COME BACK 1 YEAR!". I think you also need to be trading on margin (you might have said it already). If you're a cash account on Robinhood they will put aside your capital to hold the option so aside from risk aversion you are basically putting up the same capital as if you had just purchased the shares.

    Enjoyed yr video. One small comment is not to look at 52 week lows as buying losers are just losers, but buying into strength. For instance, Robinhood has been on an up trend even with the market in the toilet. This is a positive thing, not to be seen as weakness or over paying. Just a thought. I am a contrayian, but I also don't buy loser stocks unless them being cheap is due to other market factors.

      Can you rewrite your question because it’s hard to understand ? I’m not getting what you’re trying to ask , so you bought a call a month out and also another call months or even a year plus ahead on the same stock?

    It's so funny that all of my friends and other youtubers are starting to reverse their thoughts on BUYING options now.

    Well guys... all i can say is congrats to Henry for not blowing up his account in this economy. Many traders by now with a $1.9M account they would have gone off and bought a $1M house in Atlanta, Aspen, Florida, New york, WA and bought $50-$100K cars and fly private and lastly family members and friends trying to ask you to loan them $50K to $150K. These are far more dangerous then the hawkish market we are in. Nothing more dangerous than your family and friends in a recession market. ...

    >Trade ONLY $500
    Guys if you read this, DO NOT TRADE on the bases of the information above, you need to understand and learn much more on top of mentioned in the video. And even then, it is gambling, not investing.
    The first recommendation is to buy weekly call options on the low-cap stock at all times low. One of the most retarded strategies.
    At least buy leaps on something that has a chance to go up in the long term.
    This is the kind of advice that keeps broke fellas poor.
    I repeat! Do not buy weekly calls, these are lottery tickets and you will lose your 500$ very fast.

    I’d like to be your Guinea pig - with your guidance, I’d invest $500 and let’s see how much I can increase that amount to within 12 months? I’ll show my daily trades with your advice/support - let’s go

    Options is gambling plain and simple. You can lose everything trading options. Buying call options of tech companies as the market continues to crash is ludicrous! Good luck with that!
    I have made money with options but also lost a ton. Be careful.

    You're telling people to gamble the last money they have with buying calls or puts? Sell some premium, learn less risky strategies

    Is it possible to make $300 a week with a $15,000 account? A lot of veteran traders are telling me you can't make more than 2% per month doing this.
