curl joe asked:


I see that a call for payx Jan 09 is around $4.40 at $50 strike - now if i bought one contract that would cost $440 right? also if i bought this planning to trade it later and not ever excersice it would i be fine with only the $440 or do i need enough $ in my account to cover the stock when it is exercised? im getting confused when someone says i need to have enough to cover my bets - i just wanna buy a Jan 09 call for $440 and sell it in 6 months - how much would i need to buy that?

thanks

reymondhak asked:


Hi,
My interest in stock and options trading has grown in the last year or so, my question is what kind of a job or career can I look in to if I enjoy following the stock market and trading stock/options? I do not have much experience in this field other than reading books and trading here and there…
I truly enjoy technical analysis and trading, where do I start if I want this to be my career?
—What companies can I work for to learn and earn an income? Most importantly learn!!!
—What position can I get being inexperienced?
basically where do I start?
Thank You

How does trading stock options work?

trading options
cornacopia16 asked:


For instance, can I simply trade the contract cost without ever having an obligation to the shares? For instance, let’s say I buy a call contract at $2.50 ($250.00) and the next day the stock rises and the same call contract is worth $2.55 ($255.00). Would I be able to sale the same call contact for the $2.55 with no other obligations even before the expiration? Does it also work that way with put options?
Thank you

Jeffrey S asked:


I am a beginner investor and I would like some feedback from anyone having experience with Zecco.com trades. Were trades executed quickly, at or better than published bid-ask price spread? Are limit orders included in the 10 free trades per month? Have you found another online broker that you like better, and why? Thanks for the input.

curious asked:


I have been trading options in the US for a long time. I would like to know if the Indian options market is similar to the US options market. I am not sure if any options broker in India can handle the sophisticated option tools. I have dual citizenship of USA and India.

drea10 asked:


I just started intraday trading calls and puts on the QQQQ and am interested in talking to others who are trading the same. Does anyone know of a forum that strictly discusses this only?
Or if you are trading the Q’s and would like to start a group or just exchange info, let me know!
