HOW TO MAKE MONEY SELLING PUTS

The low-risk method for turning limit orders into cash.

 It doesn't take a genius to know that the stock market is overvalued.

Airbnb shares hit the market today and doubled right away. This in a time when half the planet is shut down and many people are scared to travel.
Of course, that's just one example. There are plenty more companies with impaired fundamentals now trading at or near al-time highs.

It is very hard to find a bargain anywhere, similar to June / July where everything popped, only to tank in value by September.
This means you have three options:

1) Sit in cash.

2) Buy now, expecting both a future drop and recovery.

3) Sell puts , treating them like limit orders and collecting cash while you wait for share prices to fall.

We'll focus on number three.
Also, quick disclaimer: I'm obviously no financial expert and this thread is purely for entertainment purposes only.

Anyway, back to the main content.
Selling a put is where you provide cash collateral against 100 shares of a stock. In exchange, you are paid a premium for your put.

Sounds complicated, but it's not.

Here's a full explanation of the mechanics (with some simplified math):
Suppose you want to sell a $60 December 18th, 2020 put on Bristol-Myers Squibb.

You would collateralize $6,000 while being paid $46 as a premium. If Bristol-Myers closes lower than $60 on the 18th, you take possession of 100 shares.

HOWEVER...
If Bristol-Myers closes above the strike price, you get your collateral back AND keep the $46 premium. So you're getting paid $46 to place a limit order that went unfilled.
This means you're earning cash payments in a bull market, and taking possession of stocks you already want to own if prices fall.

You can also sell puts on ETFs like $VYM, $VOO, etc... which further lowers your long-term risk (if you're willing to hold long-term).
I wouldn't recommend trading options against speculative stocks or companies you aren't willing to hold in the long-run.

However, done right, this is a good way to generate extra cash while waiting for prices to lower on assets you already want to buy.
Personally, I've collected about $1,000 in long-term (March) premiums by selling puts. And also "bought to close" (where you buy back your own contracts once the premiums have fallen) $150 worth of puts between Monday and Wednesday.
Again, don't be stupid and trade options on some penny stock or YouTube "hot tip." But if you already know about a specific market or business, this is a good way to profit off your knowledge while you wait for Wall Street's "irrational exuberance" to end.

How position sizing can affect your trading performance-

Assuming that you are trading a Trend-following system with Big RR and low win-rate.

For example, assume that you risk one percent per trade on a 100,000 account
and you have 20 straight losses.

That one percent is of your remaining equity and at the end of 20 losses, you would be down to 81,790.60.

Now if you got a 30R winner and you are risking one percent of your balance of 81,790.60, your new equity would be 106,327.9,


You’ve had 20 losses and one winner though you are still up 10Rplus your equity is up by 6.3R percent.

Now, let’s say you risk five percent per trade on your balance. At the end of 20 straight losses, you would be down to 35,772.89 or down 64 percent.


If you risk five percent on this amount and get a 30R winner, you would be up to 89,621.48. You are up 10R, but because of your position sizing, your equity is still down over 10 percent.

This is why position sizing is the most important factor in trading if you get it right and you have an edge, you will do good.

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

THREAD: What is Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle and how it impacts India?

Golden Crescent region of South Asia - comprises of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan - which is a principal global site for opium production and distribution.


Golden Triangle is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong rivers. The Golden Triangle is called so because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan on a map.


India is wedged bw world’s 2 largest areas of illicit opium production, Golden Crescent & Golden Triangle, that has made Indian borders vulnerable to drug trafficking. It flows from 2 fronts, NW & NE, that possesses dual concern - violation of border & threat to national security

- Golden Crescent is world’s leading opium and cannabis producing region since 1983.

- Its proximity to Indo-Pak border has worsened the trafficking of hashish and heroin into Indian soil

- Trafficking happens through the border states of J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.


- Golden Triangle is leading opium producing region of the South-east Asia, also an ancient narcotics supply route to North America & Europe.

- Myanmar-Northeast nexus is recognized by NCB as the root of heroin & chemical drugs

- Myanmar produces 80% of heroin produced in world

Chennimalai Murugan Kovil
#Erode
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Chennimalai Murugan Temple is located  near Perunthurai in Erode District. Murugan is worshipped here as Dandayudapani. Temple is situated on the banks of Noyyal river also called Kanchima Nadhi. Temple is situated in a hill


Sthala Puranam says that, there lived a Landlord who had many cows in his farm. One among them was a Black Cow, which didn't give milk. Land lord observed that evening time, when all the cows came back after grazing, this cow used to go to a particular spot and gave all  the milk


by itself. He decided to dig the spot where the cow gave its milk

On digging a beautiful Vigraham of Murugan was found, but lower portion was very rough. So he called a great sculptor to soften it. Everyone was shocked to see that on the first chisel the vigraham bleeded.


Land lord realized that Murugan wanted the Vigraham the way it was.

Thus Prathishta was done on Chennimalai hill. It is believed that Sivalaya Chola got relieved from his Brahmahatti Dosha here. Kanda Shasti Kavacham was first offered here.

Muruganukku Haro Hara
