HOW TO MAKE MONEY SELLING PUTS
The low-risk method for turning limit orders into cash.
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.
It is very hard to find a bargain anywhere, similar to June / July where everything popped, only to tank in value by September.
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.
Anyway, back to the main content.
Sounds complicated, but it's not.
Here's a full explanation of the mechanics (with some simplified math):
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...
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).
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.

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
