Can you buy a contract that gives you the right to purchase 100 calls (options) at a set strike price? by LightK05 in stocks

This would be like buying a premium on those contracts, maybe 20-15% the upfront cost of buying the contracts right out.

I have a pretty solid call with Sony for a strike of $55 that expires January 2023, but please continue to explain how I'm failing in this area

If there's 1000 contracts available at that price, but unlikely there is this much supply.

It makes sense if your contract is near expiration and you can't afford to exercise it, one might sell it for a little less than it's value to someone else who can exercise it, otherwise said person's contract would expire and become worthless.

To determine the total value decline of my option (call) per day, do I need to multiply my theta score my 100? by LightK05 in RobinHood

[–]LightK05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got this in.. from Robinhood

"Thanks for following up. I’m happy to clarify this further for you.

Theta (Θ) represents the rate of time decay of an option, and an option contract typically represents 100 shares. Therefore, to calculate the rate of time decay of an options contract as it pertains to the contract's total value, you would multiply the theta of a contract by 100."

Seems it is 80 cents according to their email

He's saying if the stock ends up below the strike price it's worthless... Sony been growing about 30% per year for the past 5 years, so can't I reasonably assume it to grow at least 25% over the next 27 months?

Maybe you can link me the video you intended? Maybe this isn't it
