If you get the fill, you are stealing that stock. Good luck.
Didn't even come close, but it was one of those deals where if it did drop that low I couldn't help but make money in a day or two.
Taking Wally's dad's advice, man "Only trade when you will make money."

Back in SOXS at $29.70. Should've bought this A.M. at $28, but got greedy. Watched it run to $33 and retrace. Looking for $33 on this trade. Love the volatility (although the VIX is falling).
You looking to "average down" a little bit, or just ride it out, or already cut and run?

I'm trying to understand buying options, specifically what to offer for them. In understand the "bid" and "ask" part, but not what I should put my bid in at.
An example. The bid is $1 and the ask is $2. If I make my own bid at $1.50, I'm first in line, but it won't fill until some "asker" lowers his ask to my $1.50. That part I get. If I bid $2 will it fill automatically? If I bid $2.50 will it fill at $2 or $2.50?
Please help me understand Open Interest. Is that the total of bids and asks on a certain option? And we don't know what the bid/ask ratio is?
What strike price should I be looking at? In my college grain marketing class we were taught to buy options that were just a bit out of the money? Looks like with securities options you should look at the options with more open interest?
Thanks for your help with this.

You shouldn't be messing with options. Period.
Nothing against you personally, but if you now this little about them you might as well set your money on fire.

I'd also like to remind everyone that Kentucky elected a Democratic governor recently. I'm not saying...I'm just saying.
If he croaked does the governor have the power to appoint someone right away? I read some blurbs about this yesterday and from what I gathered the 17th amendment allows the state legislature to empower the governor to make an appointment. Since the Kentucky hillbilly legislature is (R), what if they don't "empower the governor"? Can a state just go with one asshole senator and call it good?

The recklessness this idiot is showing is terrifying. No fucking way I'm going back to normal until there is real evidence this thing is contained.
One positive out of this is the American public should now realize just how effective a national strike would be
ifwhen our elected officials get out of line. We are basically in a national strike right now and the gov is scared shitless of the results.

Markets still falling like whoa

Maybe they're just keeping it propped up until end of the month when 401k statements go out.
