So I am a total noob when it comes to options. Still learning but from my holdings in AIV it seems like a good option?

What would your goal be for that type of play?

My thoughts: in the last 9 months, AIV has only appreciated $3 in stock price. Assuming continued trend (at a very basic level), it would be about $11 by June. The option would be worthless

(2) - the liquidity in this option chain is very poor. And, if I had to guess, there likely aren't very many options for this ticker across all expirations. So, it may be harder to buy options and sell options, and you could lose some "slippage" on entry & exit. The particular option you would buy has almost no contracts being held/traded.

(3) IV is low, which implies this stock is a relatively slow mover, or at least options are priced as such. While that makes it cheaper to buy, you could be sitting on them a while if the stock is stagnant in the short term.

This was from before the market open, but generally we have more immediate downside versus upside for most sectors. The IV Discounts are a yellow light but not a sell signal.

Energy is overbought this morning.

A past coworker reached out to me about catching up and hearing how things are at my new job. I’ve been swamped and don’t really have the mental bandwidth. He’s also not the best conversationalist so it’s always a little draining when I talk to him. How do I tell him no without being rude and burning bridges? Or should I just suck it up and do it anyways?

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month
2) Technology has issues with rates, valuations, and supply chains for chips, so this could be heavy on the indexes
3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place

A lot of folks, this bowl included, are getting a reality check at the moment, which i think is good for learning experiences. Can’t call yourself an “investor” but the second you see a position fall +20-30% start to question or panic sell. However, if this is you, and your equity position was initiated off a whim or a blind recommendation, I struggle to feel any sympathy lol especially if you were someone buying stocks (MGNI for example) when they were approaching ATH
