Is this a good deal? Trading in an Altima for a 2011 Sentra lease?

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

mimi asked:


I think I understand the basics of option trading like calls and puts. What I need help is why an option May put has a strike price of 55 when it’s underlying stock is at 52.03 in Feb? Isn’t the put for buying it down?

Mark W asked:


I am trying to learn more about option trading. I know how to use calls and puts and have made money doing this. But I now want to get involved in straddles, spreads and selling options. So if I am using a straddle how do I unwind from the negative side of the straddle when the stock is moving away from that side? How do I use a spread and how do I sell a seccessful option?
