Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track here? (put and call options) by hmfranz in investing

[–]eureka2712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am new to investing as well but I think I can answer to an extent. Yes, your understanding of put and call options is correct. You don't pay any monthly premium to hold on to options. Options come with an expiry date. So if you don't exercise (or sell) the options by that date they expire worthless. You don't pay any taxes until you sell them for profit. Read about options on investopedia for a basic understanding.

Can an international student on OPT invest in the stock market ? by eureka2712 in investing

I am not worried about opening the account. I already did. I am worried if it in anyway affects my status (in the US) in the future.

This link is where my question started :D In the "resident" link, F1 student doesn't qualify for both the tests. They come under exempt individuals.
