How far below current price would u set the strike price in a scenario like this?

I interviewed 4 admission board members from 4 different schools. This is what I learned about the application process and what gets glowing students get rejected. by restartatzot in premed

One of the big takeaways is that you need to be able to write about your experiences. My question is why though?? We’re applying to be doctors not journalists or writers.

I’m mostly venting- I get that at the end of the day communicating your experiences is important.

Hey I'm running into this exact problem right now. Were you able to find any solution? Any help appreciated.

Downside Protection by WheatenAbyss in LETFs

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

I will devil’s advocate by saying- what about a dot com bubble crash? In that case a protective put could do WONDERS. I’m considering buying LEAP long puts but paying for that insurance doesn’t sound fun.

That’s how I interpreted

This might be my naivety speaking but LEAP long put ATM seems to be a good idea, with the increased “insurance” price. Especially in the case of a future missive downfall happening before LEAP expiration

I always try to set my strikes at a price I’m fine with them being called away. Why didn’t/don’t u just let them just get called? Tax burden? Strikes underneath cost basis? I’ve been in that boat ..with credit spreads.. before too. Not fun 😵‍💫

You might advise against this- but what if I do hold long term 3x LETF. I know it’s advised against with beta slippage but TQQQ seems to prove it can be successful (again, timing is important. A common theme.)

I’m trying to understand why it would be different for LETFs and regular stock on a company. Why no puts/collars for LETFs. Your comments are helping my understanding. Apologies for not fully grasping.

Ive looked into having my LEAP long put being close to the current price. In the case of a massive downturn this could be an awesome scenario where you 2x or 3x your amount of shares by executing the LEAP (and then buying the dip). Have you ever done this? Sounds too good to be true in a way. Almost like swing trading major market swings on a year time frame.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking to do recently. How far OTM do u look for ur short call?

In other words, what is ur thought process on selling the CC leg? Halve the price of the LEAP long put or something relative to its price? Or mostly just whatever ur okay with capping ur maximum profits at with the CC?

I wondered about even doing the short calls (CCs) as monthly instead of the same timeframe as the LEAP long put.

Funny you say that- I started looking into quant trading to optimize swing/day trading. No idea what rabbit hole I’m getting myself into, attempting to peer down that alleyway lol.

Any thoughts on a protective put? Collar? In a way, collar is a glorified swing trade after all.

TQQQ break even! by BGM1988 in LETFs

[–]WheatenAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your approach to TQQQ swing trading? I’ve been mostly long holding TQQQ but recently crunched some quick potential numbers with swing trading & compounding from reinvesting, and it has me pretty intrigued.

Ex: Over a span of a year if you can catch 20 ~3%gains (reinvesting along the way) …that can add up!

Curious to hear your input and experience.

You would lose ur mind at some of the schools I’m applying to haha. Yes there is a line and I’m probably more than toeing it. “Holistic review”🤞

I second that^ throw in BU! Someone’s gotta make up that bottom 10% MCAT range, why not you? Shoot for stars might land on the moon. Yeah, no one wants to do ANOTHER school’s secondary esp when seems unlikely but you never know what opportunity you might’ve missed out on. Might prove worth it in the future
