kalns asked:


I start online trading on online virtual simulation platform to practice options trading. But there is a “20-min” delay which keeps annoying me.
My questions:
1. So that means i am not trading at the price when i click the “confirm” button? E.g. I want to buy apple.inc at $100 at 10am so i click “confirm”, but the trade is delayed to 10.20am when apple inc has soared to $200, so i am trading at $200 which is way more expensive to me??????????
2. What does the word “position” means? I buy a share so i have 1 position???I sell that share so i lost that position????

Thank you so much and forgive me asking such stupid questions.

k im in high school i am very well aware of the risks involved so ill only start with $1000 to trade options i trade stocks and for the past 4 years ive had an average annual return of 133% im right 8/10 times on average (i know hard to believe but true)… anyway so ive heard of people doubling their money in a matter of a week!!! so say i double my money every month for say 7 months i would have around 100K right? i mean this does not seem to hard if i bet on sure things that i know will move the way i want them to.. so like has anyone done something similar to this?? or anything??
i dont need any negativiy just because you cant do it dosnet mean i cant ! kazol
p.s. im a lot different from everyone else thats for one thing! for one the only thing i really care about is the market its market or mafia in my world!
even if i cant manage to return 100% a month i could still do pretty good i think and even if i can turn 1000 into 20K thats still pretty darn good

Are you trading stock options? Just buying puts and calls or more advanced strategies?

Kate asked:


I bought a 2002 Nissan Altima 8 months ago for $8750. Since then, the check engine light has come on 4 times. This last time it came up as the catalytic converter needing replacement, which was quoted to me at $2000. The dealership gave me the option of trading it in to do a college graduate lease-to-own of a 2011 Nissan Sentra SR. The deal would be $150/month for 39 months, 15,000 miles per year, with a $2500 check back to me. This deal also includes all taxes, registration, fees, etc.-no extra charges. Is this a good deal or should I shop around elsewhere? Thanks!
At the end of the lease my plan is to trade it in and purchase a used car-I’m currently driving around 1000 miles a month for my job but will be leaving it in 3 years and looking to start over with a “new” used car

Danny asked:


When selling a futures contract, is the process like selling an options contract? For example, when selling a futures contract, is the seller also the writer? Or are there no writer since in the exchange, everything is standardized?
So if that’s the case, can I just decide to sell any amount of contracts as I please? And as a buyer, are there premiums that must be paid? Are Futures like…more intense/volatile versions of Options (a stretch)?

I know that unlike options and stocks, the settlement is at the end of each day, so therefore, you realize your losses and gains daily, but does that mean that your “account” is debited and credited with the dollars lost and gained?

For options, there are no losses in writing a contract, so is that the same for futures? If I sell a futures contract, and no one bites, does nothing happen?

I think I have a decent understanding of Futures, as a derivative, but the logistics in trading seems considerably less straight forward than Options trading. Also, what’s the difference between the exchange and the clearinghouse? One is the platform to trade on, sort of like Ebay, while the other is…to protect the traders,…so (a stretch) but SOORRTT of like Paypal (more so for the seller)?? But then do they work together outside of the traders knowledge? As in, do I buy futures from the exchange? or from the clearinghouse? Or is the clearinghouse within the exchange?

Thanks everyone in advance. This is for a futures class, and the concept is so foreign. Thanks again!!
One more thing! I understand this is all REALLY mostly risk trading, and the commodities dealt with are rarely..dealt with. But, at the end of the day, where do the commodities go? For example, a futures option on corn that’s due to expire a year from now. I buy it…sell it, someone buys it…sells it, and as it gets closer to the exp date, for the farmer who put it on the market in the first place (or…do they do that?) what does HE do with the commodity? Or if not the farmer, for WHOever has the ACTUAL commodity, what happens to the it?

I bought an IShares Canada Index Call Option and would like to know if anyone has traded these with good results? Mine is EWCFN June ’07 Call Strike prce $28.00 IT IS AT THE MONEY. Do Index Options tend to have UPWARD trends? It would seem to me this would be good for a CALL option on one of these? Thanks

edcyhn asked:


You get more bang for your buck with options. More reward, less risk with options.

I need to learn more about options, but for now it seems the way to go. Why put a lot of money into stocks, when you could use options instead?

Avery’s mama asked:


I have an ’05 Xterra my husband and I purchased new when we were married. One month after purchase we split and I have been making the large payments on one income, which has been tough. I have about $5,000 in negative equity, which has made it difficult to trade to a cheaper vehicle. Does anyone have any suggestions? The bank wont refinance with just my income.
