Hey brother, we love you and want you to take care of yourself. If making videos are negatively affecting you then please slow down. You don't have to stop but please don't push yourself, find that balance. We all will be here, no one is going anywhere.
ITM options vs OTM options are playing a different game. ITM options are banking on an increase in delta at some point, pumping up the already huge intrinsic value. Its a great play and works like a stock replacement. Super far OTM options are not making a play to be ITM by expiration, they are instead banking on a massive increase in IV sometime before expiration that will super pump the value of these ultra low delta options. Just take a look at any of the meme stock call options when they are pumping. CVNA top-of-chain calls aren't going to go ITM, but they will increase by a factor of 10x, 30x, whatever. I sell calls all the time and will regularly see calls that are 100%, 200%, 300% OTM increase by 20x when the stock moves up by 10%.
Hey. I’m a fan of your content and also agree that self care is prime objective. I’m jumping in on Patreon but with no expectations of future stuff. I benefited from old videos over the years and want to just thank you for the work your still doing. Take care
I love the squiggly lines and the options talk. This is such a happy throwback. I don't think there's an options video of yours I haven't rewatched a few times. Thanks for all you do.
One thing people need to be aware of when trading very OTM options is that sometimes liquidity is terrible, so even if you intend to sell with time on the option to capture extrinsic value, you may not be able to sell to close the position and you're stuck riding it down... or sometimes the bid/ask spread is wide, so you see a large amount on the option in your interface but it will only sell for a much smaller number. Sorry if this was covered already, but it's something people should definitely be aware of, particularly when trading stocks which already have questionable liquidity and wide bid/ask spreads. It took me a long time to sort this stuff out when I started trading. LOL
Yep and it’s worse obv on leaps. Hate seeing them lose 1k in value trying to get a close. And the damn algos keep changing the prices every time you try to close a lower price. Personally for me I always enter a low ask to get an instant fill, because I lose way more value trying to get filled and not getting filled and then value drops. Ofc depends on your time frame tho.
Watched many videos on option trading, this one is the first time I understood the concept. its basically high stake gambling over time trying to predict a stock price
Great vid.! Easy to follow and repetitive, great stuff! Made me laugh a couple times! Can’t wait for the next one, I have learned a lot from you, thank you.
Just sent you a shit ton of people from reddit lol. I posted a pic of my $400 - $7700 in 3 month pic and everybody asked me to help them. "Best I can do is send ya to youtube" lol. I got lucky, but you did pass on some good info, so I kept the energy going. Have a good one man!
OTM options is gambling. If you’re someone who thinks that’s a legit strategy, you probably don’t care about IV, premium, the Greeks, none of it. It’s all about the “yeah, but it COULD make me $$$$”. All it is is a gambling mentality. The probability of hitting on one of those absurd OTM options is practically 0. Nothing logical about it
In the stupid reddit sense that Adam is talking about yes definitely gambling. But OTM options can be a valid strategy - selling a credit spread OTM for premium decay is a strategy I've used successfully. And buying an OTM debit spread can have uses during volatile times IF you've done the right analysis beforehand. Typically sell to close before expiration when it moves in your favor. Hell, I've even used buying OTM calls successfully with that same strategy - selling to close at a higher price before expiration makes the call worthless. But again...gotta have a good analysis.
Unless you're using them to hedge. I.e. you're not really looking to make money with them and ideally your main stock goes up and you're nowhere near being able to exercise them.
I save the out of the money stuff for meme-lord level drama. Like with netflix and cuties, or Musk and his trolling between tesla,space x and twitter, not to mention Meta trying to verse itself. That is the level of meme lord needed for me to even consider out of the money plays.
Very useful! I can be slow to get this stuff about calls even though I've been investing for a long time, but, Adam, your explanations are very clear. I'm feeling more confident now about how IV works.
I mean there's like 10 million people there and you don't see too many repeat people who YOLO'd and won big. Of course there will always be the outliers who got lucky on their gamble and then post screenshots to WSB. I'm mainly there for the loss porn though, especially when it's something like a guy who got $200k of inheritance money and spent it all going long on a car selling company that ended up losing like 95% share value after that.
Thought U were going to say they use A.I. A few times bought a few $.01 OTM Calls went up & when tried to close it didn't fill so that means no buyer, correct?
You pay more for an ITM option, it have a higher probability of profit, so, it’s dependent on how bullish you are on the underlying. I like an OTM LEAP when there’s very little IV you’re paying for, but LEAPs are almost always overpriced
Thanks for the content. Glad to see you found your glasses and I cracked up at the *which is my entire audience*. So, are we talking about really far OTM? I am looking at a call option for 2/13 on qqq and the ITM option is 2.23 but the bid to ask is 2.16 to 2.30 while the OTM option right below is 1.72 with bid to ask 1.70 to 1.73. Wouldn't the better option be to go the OTM option since bid tobasknis closer together then the ITM. Sorry if it is a dumb question.
How long does a stock’s IV take to go down after a big move (assuming it trades flat)? I’m looking at calls for a pharma stock that just plummeted but IV is 150%.

That's only if you're writing (selling) options and the buyer decides to exercise it early, or the option expires ITM and it's automatically exercised by market makers. It doesn't matter if you sell ITM or OTM, there is always the risk that it will be exercised at any time, and if it gets ITM close to expiry, it will be exercised one way or the other. You're only screwed if you're selling the option short (without the underlying shares or another option leg on hand) ; as then you actually have to buy stock at the current price and deliver it to the buyer.
Yes, but if you like the underlying stock (Rule #1 for selling puts) then assignment is a good thing for you. You get to keep the extrinsic value the buyer (who ordered the assignment) gave up.
@@Md-ht3cg If you own the stock, then selling puts gets you MORE shares of the stock, when the put is assigned. If you own the stock, and you BUY puts, you can "put" your shares onto the seller of the put.
Great one has always. If you had 50 shares in a margin account and 50 shares in an RSP account, can you still sell covered calls on this company? Or does the 100 shares have to be in the same account to sell covered calls? Keep up the awesome job.

@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 Yeah rotting carcass tissue with bodily secretions, veins, cholesterol, pus, and fecal bacteria sounds so much more appetizing than eating plants....
The next move is dumpster diving in a back of a Wendy's to feed your family Options should be a very small portion of your gamble money. If you make 50k a year at your job, you should only be gambling 3 to 7k a year maximum on options, and the rest should go towards safe investments
If you make 50k a year, 10k will go to taxes, 10k will go on food, 10k will go on accommodation, 10k on assorted necessities (gas, phone bill, etc) and if you manage to save any of the remaining 10 and not spend it on a trip, a car, a laptop or some other one off purchase, none of it should go to options
Options shouldn't really be for gambling at all. They're really meant to be used as a sort of insurance policy. Suppose you own 100k shares of stock A and there is upcoming scheduled release of data that might have very bad news for stock A. Rather than just taking the risk of your assets going down, you could buy put options. The goal isn't to make money on them, if they go to zero you're still fine. The point is so that if your stock tanks, you can recoup the loss and maybe even then some. That is, the idea is to hedge in order to reduce your risk, but of course people jumped on them instantly as a way to gamble with high risk ...
Weekly options are highly liquid and a seller will gladly sell you an option that is likely to expire worthless. More realistically, look at the bid-ask. Are there bidders and askers "sellers"? You can get a fill. Look at volume and you can really see how liquid they are.
The quantity of bids and asks bouncing around give a pretty clear understanding that the market is still liquid. People don't play in dead stocks because they can't reliably dump OTM contracts with no intrinsic value. If there are a ton of huge price swings in a stock with lots of volume, it naturally draws the speculators to play in those options. It's kind of a feedback loop. I've seen options markets dry up on flavor-of-the-week meme stocks, and gamblers who buy OTM worthless garbage calls end up losing everything. The long term winners usually buy far out ITM puts after a parabolic run and let the stock die a natural death. Nobody has patience in these markets...
Hi I'm a seller of options, I'll definitely take your premium on the resistance no problem and if you exercise it I'm cool with that because I'll sell a put on the support anyways.
@@ssdskully Yeah, there's a lot of ways to juggle it. The less risky people will sell OTM puts and ITM calls and just roll them until their shares are free or they get assigned with profit leftover. People want that get-rich-quick stuff though.
To be fair, it's pretty trivial to figure out when to sell a long call...unless you're a WallStreetBets yolo person. Although I still prefer selling premium lol.
@@Md-ht3cg Well it's easy in theory but in practice and looking at the possibility of extreme returns, I bet greed gets the better of one most of the time and then one loses the chance. Unless one does it in a truly systematic, mechanical way (even then it's just a guess that it'll pan out at all). Consider as well: what is an appropriate return to take a profit? With long calls this is not really defined whereas with short calls it is clearly defined.

With long calls this is not really defined whereas with short calls it is clearly defined.
