Trading Puts and Calls?
kristin asked:
Okay, so can you buy an option (either a put or call) and have no actual stock in that option, then wait till someone with stock needs to purchase your option in a hurry ro save their butt. Obviously, you would have to anticipate the stock in which you bought the option to either rise or fall to put stcok holders in a panic in order for them to pay you for your option. I had a classmate in finance that was making an average of $2000/day but had to slow down b/c it was too stressful and time consuming. But anyway, can you be the ‘middle man’ and just hold on to these options untill someone is willing to pay you fro them. Then that person would have to exercise that option with the Original writer (the person that I would have bought it from). Is this scenero realistic??
