Whoever gives me the most DETAIL will get the 10 points!

What do the following mean:
Buy to Open
Buy to Close
Sell to Open
Sell to Close

Im trying to buy calls, once I buy them how do I make money on them? How do I sell them exactly?
When buying calls is it true the most you can lose is the amount you invested?
Also, on the screen I see some stocks that say Calls [55] and other stocks that say Calls [45] at the top of the screen, its not the price so what does it mean?
When buying calls under quantity if I put 1 does that mean im buying 100 shares?

I am going to start a whole summer service for my neighborhood. I was thinking I could mow lawns, edging, weeding, gardening, babysit, petsit, clean houses, have a morning wake-up thing, summer tutoring, and stuff like that. I was going to put it all togeher as my service called Emotion-of-all-trades, Emotion is my name. i want to have a little of everything so I can be the neighborhood helper. Are there any other services you can think of. I want to learn others and practice so I can do a good job by summer for people. Just anything that comes to mind that you wouldn’t mind a 14- year-old doing.

SGT asked:


Here is a question that I have perhaps someone here can shed some light.

The example will deal with PUTS- I have a contract that expires today.. It is a 20 PUT.. The stock is trading at 22 dollars.

I can not sell the put- I suppose that is because it is out of the money and there is no time left. NOte- this does give me the right to sell 100 shares of X at the strike?

Now, what happens if the 20 dollar put is in this scenario- same thing, expiration today. Stock now trading at 18… Would I be able to sell the put?? even with so little time?? Why would anyone buy it?How does the PUT buyer, the person who will buy my PUT benefit from this?? So this would be like me saying I will sell 100 shares of X at 20, 2 dollars above the strike?

ALso important part of my question.. with above example— if there is a buyer for my put, would that be the same as I was when I originally bought the put? In other words the new buyer would be “a put buyer” with the right to sell at 20 strke?
