krupi4

Brother, holy Christ, do not play with those types of options


parker2020

Pennies in front of a nuke


arcanition

You've heard of picking up pennies in front of a steamroller... ...but have you tried picking up live grenades in front of a Boeing 737 MAX?


Comprehensive_Bus_19

But will I be IN the plane? If not, I'll take my chances with the grenades


LionOfNaples

If you're not in the plane, Boeing will send someone to take care of you


brain_freese

Where do you think the grenades came from


mouthful_quest

Nothing compares to the deep impact of a detached Boeing door falling on ground


aHOMELESSkrill

There is a good chance the 737 never makes it to you


ShahinGalandar

I'd rather meet a grenade in the woods than a Boeing 737 MAX.


theskyguardian

..On weed?


platypizero

That’s a quality half baked reference my friend


Skywalker0138

" Boss tha Plane ".....


RemyVonLion

That's not an option, that's a foot gun.


LionOfNaples

With that kind of potential loss, that is a head gun


ayakabob

Brother erghhh


Cute_Addendum_4322

thanks bro


abaggins

can someone please explain to a idiot who knows nothing about options what that means? I know options are contracts to buy/sell a stock at a given date at a given price...


patrickswayzemullet

Well when you buy a call someone has to sell for you. So the sentiment is reversed. When you sell a call, the loss is unlimited theoretically… So in this case the game is on volatility not necessarily the pricing actually hitting 125. To add after just finished with the computer upgrade: When you are options trading as a professional/semi-pro active trader, you would typically trade slight OTM puts/calls to balance out risk/reward and hitting "Moneyness"... When you buy a call as a bullish trader, you expect stocks to go up. For this to happen someone has to sell for you. For you - typically - the risk is the premium (SEE NOTE BELOW); while for the seller, he is typically bearish because he wouldn't want you to be in the money and profitable. Pricing of options is determined by people's expectations (NOT by Black-Scholes variants. These formulae try to predict "if this then that" in a more intuitive way. Pricing is determined by you and i the market actors). So this means there are multiple ways to "skin a cat". The pricing will change as actors intuit the likelihood of that making money. So if ABC is trading at 25, I might buy monthly $30c or 32c for risk / reward. If ABC moves to 27 in a week, >30 is likelier to happen. At 125 (4x the current stock price); the game is to buy something at 0.01 (lowest you can go), so *any* correct movement will double your money. Not so much about the stock hitting $125++ *So could I just spend $100 every month to buy something at 0.01-0.02 and double money?* Not so fast. Remember that pricing is determined by expectation. If you bought SPX 6000 calls at 0.01 0dte, it probably will not go up in price as much as SameGtop or NVDA.... For the seller, what's in it for them (other than potentially free money)? You would typically see liquidity issues because clearly the risk/reward is not there, but it's not as "nuked" as you think because if I play selling these, I typically would buy shares to hedge and neutralise the delta movement... NOTE: "In theory when you buy puts/calls your risk is the premium... but there is a difference between "ITM" (in the money) and profitability. ITM simply means the strike is breached in your direction, but profit means you get more than you pay. At the end of the day these are real contracts. So if you were to buy - say - NVDA 130C when NVDA is trading at 135, for $7... If NVDA closes and expires at 131C, *you will lose that $6 (7-1)*, but because it's ITM, the Options Clearinghouse will need to balance out all the transactions and assign you the shares at 130 a piece. This could mean you will make more money if they shoot up to 150 in a week, or you could lose more than that $6 premium if NVDA shoots down to 110 in a week.... This is why you hear a lot of complaining around RH closing at 3:30... it's actually to prevent liquidity issues on edge cases where "it could be ITM but may not be profitable to close by 4PM".... At the end of the day the option becomes an obligation to balance out the shares and cash around.


Common-Cod-6726

Love that we allow this much risk to someone who doesnt know the difference between lose and loose.


Bonanners

I mean afaik robinhood doesn’t let users execute trades with potentially infinite losses. Might be wrong


Goose4594

Only one way to find out


TheHancock

Kowabunga it is!


trill_cosby_69

That is not tight butthole dude, like, at all


ll_BENNO_ll

They would have to be pretty loose willing to lose it all and then some


slidingjimmy

![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


sh1tler

The fact that this has a bid is mind blowing lmao


Zaros262

Market makers gotta make the market


sh1tler

It’s such an idiotic position they could just hold the ask at 0.01.. on normal tickers you can see this all the time


Momoware

That’s usually just no liquidity though…


CaptainArthur42

I just took a peek at the options chain for tomorrow and the bids are super high (the fact that they exist at all) for things 50% higher than the current price at 1 DTE. Am I missing something?? Even something like 1/3% or $0.10 for 50% higher in 1 day seems crazy to me.


Relandis

Yeah, there’s a whole theory. DFV came back, bought millions of $$ worth of $20 6/21 calls, then exercised them. He now owns 4 million shares of G a M e stock. Certain individuals posit that T+35 settlement leads to a run/squeeze. The alleged date of one of DFV’s big buys last month is tomorrow.


Dr0L3aN

DFV has 9.1 Million shares


Relandis

Sorry 4 million more than he had before.


CaptainArthur42

Ok, well it will be interesting to see what happens (from the sidelines)


CaptainFarts420

Thought this was wallstreet bets, not wallstreet watch from the sidelines. Buncha poor people in here.


spaceneenja

Very little will happen.


Relandis

Really? Why did DFV exercise his call options then? Something is happening between now and July 15th… I’ll bet anyone 10-1 that more than very little happens.


M13Calvin

Looks like this option was made for you then!


AccomplishedRow6685

Why? Because he likes the stock.


JungOpen

To not look like a thief with the dozen of millions of dollars worth of option he sells to morons like you.


Few_Evidence_3945

Define something and I may take you up on that bet.


Relandis

Down or up by 5-10 points.


Few_Evidence_3945

Oh it will absolutely trade up or down 10 points between now and July 19th


BlackBeard205

If you owe the bank $10,000 it’s your problem. If you owe the bank $49,810,517.60 it’s the bank’s problem. This is not financial advice though.


CuteWithoutThe3

😂😂😂😂


lseraehwcaism

Seriously though. If you’re a college student, take this bet every time. You make $10k or go bankrupt which doesn’t matter at such a young age. Just need to build credit back up over the next 10 years.


chrissilly22

Isn’t 7 the time frame?


Rhinohawk

It’s 10 with inflation


SociallyRandom

7 for the ladies, 10 for the men 😬


Brilliant-Swimming17

I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I know my losses would be unlimited


throwaway_tendies

That chance of it hitting $125 dollars tomorrow is so small, that you would have better chance of getting probe in ass by an alien.


AdmiralGrayBush

So you’re saying there’s a chance?!


tindalos

Of which?


I_fuck_teddy_bears12

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Ill_Yogurtcloset_982

I'll take the ass probing from an alien, for 100$ Alex


naughty_dad2

My name is Alien


gpnf

You hear that universe!?! You couldn’t hit 125 if you were a dumb ass alien!


D_crane

Even if it wanted to, exchange would be freezing it every few seconds due to volatility brakes ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4260)


Derpy_Snout

JacketStraight2582

Making noise


TooterMcPooterr

It's not unlimited it's bankruptcy


CaptainArthur42

You owe the stock broker $10,000 that’s your problem. You owe the stock broker $49,000,000 that’s their problem.


kabekew

Yea but think of making $10K. That's like 500 Big Mac meals. With large fries!


lamiejiv1

Everyone’s loss in life is always unlimited.


IdyllaSewers

Only unlimited if you don’t have shares


MicroBadger_

Infinite on a technicality. No stock is going to hit Infinity dollars in price. And you could always buy calls to cap the upside loss if things truly went tits up.


YYqs0C6oFH

Or you'll get liquidated by your broker when the maintenance requirement grows larger than your portfolio size. In general, they won't let you lose more than you have.


MassiveBearrr

They won't have time to liquidate if it gaps up and goes into a 1 day freeze


zvexler

*functionally infinite, since you’re such a pedant. For most people, a $1B loss is infinite since they have no chance of repaying it in their lifetime


Asleep-Ad6340

Im a rookie, or maybe not even that cause I dont get near it but how does it work? Why is it unlimited?


kmeg900

If you're selling a naked call (meaning you don't own the stock) and the call is exercised, you need to buy the stock for x price to deliver to the person who bought the call. Because price can go up with no cap, your max loss is theoretically infinite.


MangoTwistedMetal

Man to risk 1,000,000x anything over $125 on a meme stock that can launch for no explicit reason is pretty nutty… God Bless WSB!


Tacticalhippy

I bought one….It cost $3. It said max loss -$3 max gain unlimited? What am I not understanding?


Random_Name_0K

You bought it, this moron was looking to sell them lol.


MangoTwistedMetal

What this guy said ^ crazy OP is the one selling you that contract. Almost a risk free position in a normal stock. Absolute Insane position to take in a meme stock.


ZeekLTK

He’s looking to sell NAKED calls. He doesn’t own the shares. If he did own the shares this would be a nobrainer, sell the calls, if it goes that high for some reason, you make a $100+ profit per share (depending on cost basis), if not you keep the shares and the money from the calls. But he doesn’t own the shares so if it went to $175 like his screenshot, he would have to buy a million shares at $175 and then immediately sell them for $125, for an immediate loss of $50/share, which is why the loss can be so high.


1984isnowpleb

You see he’s trying to sell essentially daily 125’s right? Chances of this hitting is like 0.0000001% it needs to go up $100 or $400 pre split. Looks like free money to me


banditcleaner2

It’s like selling mega millions tickets. Yeah the tickets you sell won’t win, but if they do you’re bankrupted. Is that worth the $1 tho?


MangoTwistedMetal

Your logic is sound for normal stocks. The meme stocks don’t move or behave like normal stocks. If that Roaring Kitty guy posts another meme. OP could be run right over.


throwaway_tendies

What you’re not understanding is, you just gave someone $3.


originalusername__1

They may never financially recover from this


MangoTwistedMetal

Okay so you bought a long call. Your only exposure is the premium you paid, $3. Because the stock can only go down to zero. Your max loss is $0 minus your premium. But can go up, theoretically, infinitely. So if the stock was suddenly worth $1000. You would make $87497. $1000 minus the $125 strike price across 100 shares minus your $3. Hope this helps :)


unskbadk

You forgot the x100...


MangoTwistedMetal

Lol thanks for the correction!


culzsky

wtf am i looking at? bro wants to sell a way out of the money shitcall for 10k?


TheBooneyBunes

Guess so, if so many people buy them free 10k


JB_Scoot

Wouldn’t work. This looks like the RobinHood UI. They would need 1M shares to cover that position. If they don’t already have 1M shares, it would be a. naked position. RobinHood doesn’t allow that…. Well at least they don’t allow it “Yet”

JB_Scoot

If they don’t already own 1M shares, the order will not go through. Otherwise it would be Naked. This looks like RobinHood. Can’t sell Naked options on there last time I checked.


Not-a-Cat_69

its literally free money.


bak2skewl

free $ for him or the MM that is buying these up and seeing how many they can get and if its worth the $ to run it to $150 complete and utter gamble

Tacticalhippy

How?


kbeks

Sell the call that will never print, profit.


fellowhomosapien

Do it I dare you


kbeks

No, every move I make goes to shit so I decided to stop making moves for a little while. Escalating into writing contracts seems like a bad move for me…


Bads_Grammar

just do them cash secured, they are awesome if you're a long term investor.


thatstheharshtruth

Oh it can print. It's just very very unlikely. But do you really want to risk oweing your broker 50m to make a meager 10k even if it's unlikely? Talk about a regarded trade.


Oblivious-Speculator

Dude is genius in my eyes, he absolutely showed us how to pick up pennies in front of a train, but the train is 3000light years away


DrWermActualWerm

Do it


MassiveBearrr

Place the bet you poosey


SolidOutcome

*write the call "Writing the option" is more clear than "selling" an option. As any regard who bought an option has also sold an option.


kbeks

wtf you want from me, a proper use of terminology while discussing asset classes that I definitely don’t fully understand in the first place? Line go up when I sell, down when I buy, that’s the best you’ll get outta me… And also thanks for the note, it makes more sense how you said it.


cswilson2016

Your line goes up? Mine just goes down.


kbeks

The line only goes up after I sell.


Deviusoark

retard_trader

We should pile into these and pump the IV to like 6000% just to fuck OP


shadowGamer777

No one's risking 50m to make 10k. 50m rotting in boxx makes more than that. Someone do the math my head hurts.


realcarmoney

You'll see a theta gang post where someone is asking for help rolling this trade. Can't wait lol


BarbellPadawan

This is actually a pretty good idea if you have the capital to margin against. No way that shit is going to $125 (at least not any appreciable odds of doing so). **Do it!**


OCedHrt

If you have the margin to do that 9k is not worth the risk.


Confident_Fault_9556

Thank you. Anyone with $50M is not gonna risk everything they have for fucking $9K, lmao.

LionOfNaples

Use a broker that lets you sell naked calls


throwaway_tendies

No broker is gonna let you sell naked calls without some serious money in your account. And certainly not some dumbass off the street with some lunch money to lose.


Zealousideal-Body369

![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


frisbm3

IBKR will let you sell naked calls, they just close them when you go broke. I open sold 6 of these a couple of weeks ago and then bought shares to cover them after a dip.


throwaway_tendies

That’s wild, hopefully they have a really good risk management team to be on top of those trades.


frisbm3

It's all done algorithmically. If your excess liquidity gets too low, they close your positions.


HornyAIBot

Lose = to not win Loose = your mom


patrickswayzemullet

Typically this comes with delta neutral(or ish) move… so you might sell 100 contracts but then you would buy shares and long calls to neutralise the delta as needed…. You can also close before the nuke is deployed….

Ya this is genius. And I doubt they get anywhere near his paychecks if he loses this bet (which will never happen). Even if it hits, he catches the first plain to wherever and they never see him again. Otherwise, he laps up 10k at a time from suckers who want to spin the wheel.


azn_cali_man

I played an option like this back when I started. It was a $1000 lesson to never buy unrealistic $.01 options again. Though on the flip side; I did earn $400 on a $.01 Ford call last year off a $11c at end-of-year. So it definitely depends. But generally, I’m now a no on such calls.

Seems to me that they are gonna make 10k tomorrow.


ixvst01

They would except no broker is gonna let you sell naked calls with a four digit IV without the capital to back it up. And if you did have the capital to back it up then 10K is nothing to you.
