The got a new contract today with the special forces command. Like 100m.

edit +7.5%

If only the few of who lost a few bucks on AMC a few months ago had diamond hands. We could have doubled our investment!

Looking like PLTR and AMC was some sort of coordinated move up today according to Twtter.

AMC $50 calls are running. Expire today. IV30 approaching 400.

What's the V, HV30, and IV30?

12,000 calls at a $50 strike? Holy shit, lol. Is that going to squeeze it up at all or are those people fucked?

What’s the diff between a $30 call and put?

I was under the impression that puts assumed a decrease in price. So, if the stock is $25, how can you sell a put that’s a higher price?

If you are buying them-

call you make money when the price is above your strike (+cost).

put you make money when the price is below your strike (+cost).

Short answer is you dont have to hold it to expiration. You can make money on the price movements as it moves toward/deeper into the money (and vice versa) and close it to realize the gain.

NVDA less than 1% from new 52 high. Why every company doesnt announce a stock split every year is beyond me.

Toward the money being the call and deeper being the put?

So, when they calls and puts are both above the current price, is that a good sign it’s going to go up in relation to those prices?

Like if the lowest put is $30, the lowest call is $35, and the stock is at $25 is that a sign to buy at $25 with a plan to get out after some gains?
