"Exercising an option early if you can't sell the underlying stock being purchased is generally not advisable. You're basically locking in the worst price you can possibly pay, plus you're losing the time value on your money (which is, admittedly fairly low right now, but still). Let's say you have a strike price of $50.  I get that you believe the stock to be worth more than $50.  Let's assume that that's probably, but not certainly right. Whether it's worth $51, $151, or $5,100 when your options are going to expire, you still get the profit of $1, $101, or $5,050 if you wait until expiration and exercise then.  By exercising now, you're giving up two things: The interest on the money you pay to exercise from now until expiration. The guarantee that you can't lose anything.    If you buy it now, you get all the upside above your strike, but have all the downside below it. If you buy it later (at expiration), you still have all the upside above your strike, but no downside - in the (assumed to be unlikely) event that it's worth less than the strike you can simply do nothing, instead of having something you bought at the strike that's worth less now and taking that loss.  By exercising early, you take on that loss risk, and give up the interest (or ""carry"" on the money you spend to exercise) for no additional updside. It's possible that there are tax benefits, as other posters mention, but the odds that ""starting the clock"" for LTCG is worth as much as the ""optionality"", or loss protection, plus the ""carry"", or interest that you're giving up is fairly unlikely."
In the first case, if you wish to own the stock, you just exercise the option, and buy it for the strike price. Else, you can sell the option just before expiration, it will be priced very close to its in-the-money value.
yes, there is no doubt that people over bought, bought to flip and then got caught holding as the market corrected. Basic supply and demand. To be honest companies like Daniel Defense were constantly out of parts so for those not wanting to be gouged in the secondary market this will help.
Should be noted that pacoverflow's answer is wrong. Yahoo back-adjusts all the previous (not current or future) values based on a cumulative adjustment factor. So if there's a dividend ex-date on December 19, Yahoo adjusts all the PREVIOUS (December 18 and prior) prices with a factor which is: 1 - dividend / Dec18Close
If any academic framework worked, your teachers would be the richest people on the planet. However, you must read up on macro and micro economic factors and make an educated guess where the market(or stock) would be at the date of expiry. Subtract the Strike Price from your determined price and calculate your potential profit. Then, if you are getting paid more or less the same thing as of today, sell it and switch to a safer investment till expiry (For example:- Your potential profit was $10, but you are getting $9 as of today, you can sell it and earn interest(Safer investment) for the remaining time.) Its just like buying and selling stocks. You must set a target and must have a stop loss. Sell when you reach that target, and exit if you hit the stop loss. If you have none of these, you will always be confused(Personal experience).
You can use trade volume for divergence and convergence studies
The Explanation is correct. The Traders buys the 1st call and profits linearly form 40$ onwards. At at 45 the short call kick in and neutralizes any further profit on the first call.
"If there is a very sudden and large collapse in the exchange rate then because algorithmic trades will operate very fast it is possible to determine “x” immediately after the change in exchange rate. All you need to know is the order book. You also need to assume that the algorithmic bot operates faster than all other market participants so that the order book doesn’t change except for those trades executed by the bot. The temporarily cheaper price in the weakened currency market will rise and the temporarily dearer price in the strengthened currency market will fall until the prices are related by the new exchange rate. This price is determined by the condition that the total volume of buys in the cheaper market is equal to the total volume of sells in the dearer market. Suppose initially gold is worth $1200 on NYSE or £720 on LSE. Then suppose the exchange rate falls from r=0.6 £/$ to s=0.4 £/$. To illustrate the answer lets assume that before the currency collapse the order book for gold on the LSE and NYSE looks like: GOLD-NYSE Sell (100 @ $1310) Sell (100 @ $1300) <——— Sell (100 @ $1280) Sell (200 @ $1260) Sell (300 @ $1220) Sell (100 @ $1200) ————————— buy (100 @ $1190) buy (100 @ $1180) GOLD-LSE Sell (100 @ £750) Sell (100 @ £740) ————————— buy (200 @ £720) buy (200 @ £700) buy (100 @ £600) buy (100 @ £550) buy (100 @ £530) buy (100 @ £520) <——— buy (100 @ £500) From this hypothetical example, the automatic traders will buy up the NYSE gold and sell the LSE gold in equal volume until the price ratio ""s"" is attained. By summing up the sell volumes on the NYSE and the buy volumes on the LSE, we see that the conditions are met when the price is $1300 and £520. Note 800 units were bought and sold. So “x” depends on the available orders in the order book.
"Well the whole book was founded on an factually incorrect thesis: HFT front runs retail orders, so I'll start with that.  But to be a bit more detailed, the basis for Katsuyama's ""journey"" into better execution was based on a completely incorrect model of how the markets work, that his trades were being ""seen"" by HFT firms before he placed the order is absolutely stupid; singular parts of his multi-exchange order were being executed before they hit other exchanges and HFT firms rightfully reacted to changes in supply and demand."
Although I have tried to read as much as I can about whether HFT is good or bad for the market, I am not an expert and I am not very confident in my own opinion. Nevertheless, here's my take:    Let's say a pension plan buys a huge block of stock all at once and the market price moves against it. That's what is supposed to happen, and has always happened. HFT are able to offer tight spreads largely because they get picked off less then the market makers in earlier eras. I don't see that as HFT exploiting pension plans, I see it as them preventing themselves from being exploited.   I will acknowledge that some HFT shops have been caught doing actual market manipulation, but I believe that the vast majority of what they do is provide market making for cheaper than its ever been. FWIW the SEC [mostly agrees](http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-06-05/sec-will-keep-thinking-about-high-frequency-trading) with me.
It's secret so that it can't be torpedoed by politics while in the negotiation process. It has to be voted on by Congress before it can become law, at that point every word of the agreement will be public and available for everybody.   The idea is that they can negotiate in good faith without taking political flak at home that prevents any real deal from being reached. Once the agreement is finalized, then Congress and the public will have the opportunity to review the agreement in full before it becomes law. This is standard procedure for complex trade deals.

The other answer covers the mechanics of how to buy/sell a future contract. You seem however to be under the impression that you can buy the contract at 1,581.90 today and sell at 1,588.85 on expiry date if the index does not move. This is true but there are two important caveats: In other words, it is not the case that your chance of making money by buying that contract is more than 50%...
There is a technique called the Elliott wave which explains these 'shocks'. The reversal directions you are questioning are part of the pattern, it is known as corrections. The Elliott wave is an indicator based on psychology of investors. Think about it this way, if you see a huge up trend what are you most likely to do, sell and make profit or continue, this is why there is a shock before it continues. Many people will sell to be safe, especially after hearing the bad news they won't risk it. By learning the Elliott wave you'll be able to make an educated decision on whether or not to stay or leave. Here are websites on the Elliott wave: http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:market_analysis:elliott_wave_theory http://www.swing-trade-stocks.com/elliott-wave.html The Elliott wave is helpful in any time frame and works well with momentum. Hope this helps.
"That quote was from a human being who already believed that before any computers got involved.  The point of using ""AI"" here was to   &gt; scour thousands of transcripts to ... implement a trade — in seconds.  I.e., recognize bullshit being spouted and sell stocks in response, before a human could even finish reading the words."
There could be a number of reasons: The price hit your number ($39.70) but by the time your order hit the market, the price had gone up. Perhaps the stock went up between when you placed the stop loss and when the order was executed. A trailing stop loss will ratchet up: Very simply, the trailing stop maintains a stop-loss order at a precise percentage below the market price (or above, in the case of a short position). The stop-loss order is adjusted continually based on fluctuations in the market price, always maintaining the same percentage below (or above) the market price.
Focus on the economics of it.  If you have a contract do deliver energy at some price P in the future, and you know your current operating margins. If your job is to hedge, you want to lock in your profits and let the market go whereever it goes.  Basically, the goal of hedging in these markets is to lock in your operating margins by creating a spread between your production, the market and the consumer's prices.
"The question mentions a trailing stop. A trailing stop is a type of stop loss order. It allows you to protect your profit on the stock, while ""keeping you in the stock"". A trailing stop is specified as a percentage of market price e.g. you might want to set a trailing stop at 5%, or 10% below the market price. A trailing stop goes up along with the market price, but if the market price drops it doesn't move down too. The idea is that it is there to ""catch"" your profit, if the market suddenly moves quickly against you. There is a nice explanation of how that works in the section titled Trailing Stops here. (The URL for the page, ""Tailing Stops"" is misleading, and a typo, I suspect.)"
HFT is a controversial issue and there are smart people with very different opinions on it. You sound like your confidence in your own opinion is not matched with a deep knowledge of market structure.   Also, front running has a technical meaning, and what you are referring to as front running is something different.
They're not negotiating trade rates for you, you set the trade rates in your order. What they might have is a slightly slower system, delivering your orders a second later than the competition would. If that's critical to you then you should look at that, otherwise look at their fees, customer support and research aids because that's where the broker value is.
"The margin rules are also more complicated.  A simple buy on a non-margin account will never run into margin rules and you can just wait out any dips if you have confidence the stock will recover.  A ""simple"" short sell might get you a call from your broker that you have a margin call, and you can't wait it out without putting more money in.  Personally I have trouble keeping the short sale margin rules straight in my head, at least compared to a long sale. I got in way over my head shorting AMZN once, and lost a lot of money because I thought it was overvalued at the time, but it just kept going up and I wanted it to go down.   I've never gotten stuck like that on a long position."

Ok, its been over a week, I think I am done with this. If you feel answering last makes you a winner, GJ. You are, though, incorrect in showing any example of a country that simultaneously purchased and sold its own debt. Also, I rule.
You can buy anything low and sell high. I've been buying hype sneakers, clothes, and popular concert tickets and selling them for more on apps like GOAT, StockX, StubHub, or on local Facebook groups!  Buying stuff from yard sales can be useful too! If you have some around you, sometimes they'll have BRAND NEW stuff that you can sell on eBay or something similar!  I've made a goal for myself to hit $10k by flipping stuff, and I'm currently at $6k!
"Great post - awesome pictures, and I'd love to see some more photos from the markets near you.  Not too sure about the implication that ""you can make money if you know what you are doing with these counterfeit products..."""
"1) Get some gold. 2) Walk around, yelling, ""Hey, I have some gold, who wants to buy it?"" 3) Once you have enough interested parties, hold an auction and see who will give you the most dollars for it. 4) Trade the gold for that many dollars. 5) You have just measured the value of your gold."
"Actually 19th century shipped you to us to pretend teaching how ""progress"" is made, when you only seek to send us backwards.  The childish thing said : &gt;It'a a totally different situation.  [*And you* (as I think you don't live in North Korea) *still have the choice to leave and reseign if you want btw*]  Yes, fina lly some sense. Taxation isn't an act of buying its a totally different situation. Taxation was extortion when it was used by despots for ""protection"", when in fact it was just financing a private interest. But taxation through parliamantary voted law isn't, its the community democratically represented that decide on the rule of majority that there is a need for public services or redistribution to happen in the community. And to do so they decide while granted power by the people to implement taxation.   That said, the US govt is frankly corrupted and the US system quite unperforming, but they still somehow protect your rights. The dudes in Irak or Afghanistan are a problem, but the militray is much more than that, protection from invasion is the main utility and your world status as THE power proove you achieve that. This allow you to have access to whole range of products and ressources cheaply and in abundance (agriculture in SA and Africa, Oil etc...), thats for the military.   All the thing that make your country a ""great"" one are funded by your taxes, from your education to your financial sector. You fund your world status and your society status among nation with your taxes. You don't want that ? As I said, you are still free to leave your country and reseign your citizenship. Why ? Because as I see it the majority of your population aren't agaisnt paying taxes, or else they would continuously elect dickwads republicans. ""Nah its mah country, gna gna gna"" not its not, your country was built by a community,a society that decide though your state/s  certain things have to be set up like taxes. You don't want to comply ? Fine, overthrow them or find a ""country"" free zone. {GOOD LUCK}."

"Perhaps you should learn to fucking read.  &gt;""By moving to a lower-tax jurisdiction, inversion deals enable companies to save money on foreign earnings and cash stowed abroad, and in some cases lower their overall corporate rate.""  What is wrong is the U.S. taxing company profits made in other countries, on other infrastructure, already subject to that country's taxes."
"Wait a second, I can't be the first to notice this,  near the top of the article: The internal contents, however, were often the exact same English words being read by their classmates buying high-priced US editions.  but later farther down: In cases where goods were actually produced abroad—  this brings up the very definition of *produced* for ""intellectual property"", to my mind the mere fact that it is printed outside of the country is simply a logistical convenience.  If in fact it was written by a U.S. author living in the U.S. then it *wasn't* actually produced abroad.  Same goes for U.S. *produced* software in foreign manufactured goods."
"US currency, today, can be used for useful things like selling a car, but there's nothing stopping you for trading it for something else.  On edit; I've been thinking about this, and I think that the problem is that currency exists as a. edium to pay taxes.  The usefulness of it for non-governmental transactions is a secondary benefit.  However, without them full faith and credit ofma government somewhere the currency would be worthless.  For example, see Zimbbwean currency or any non-convertible currency.  *extra edit--altogether too many ""m's."""
I like how in the US you have the biggest houses, the biggest cars, the biggest incomes (yes you still do compared to europe..), , the lowest unemployment, the lowest cost consumer goods in pretty much every category ofconsumer goods, yet you still find a reason to complain about collusion and monopolies
&gt; Hence all businesses in the US, no matter what currency they make money in, have to buy USD to pay their taxes.  So that means that means other currencies are valueless since X government doesn't see Y currency as a means of payment? Also, you don't buy so much as trade but potatoes potatos.
I live in europe but have been paid in usd for the last few years and the best strategy I've found is to average in and average out. i.e. if you are going in August then buy some Euro every few weeks until you go. At least this way you mitigate the risk involved somewhat.
I have, but they re-direct me to distribuitors in Mexico. The problem is that people who import the product get it waaay cheaper than with the maximum distribuition price in Mexico. But I have no idea where they find the product so cheap on the US...

&gt; But achieving that growth is difficult as China and other countries have pursued aggressive export strategies and **the U.S. has lost manufacturing skills and suppliers after shifting production overseas**.  (Emphasis mine)  And they're doing the exact same thing in almost every possible field: legal and accounting services, [medical services](http://www.outsource2india.com/services/healthcare.asp) and, of course, the outsourcing poster child- software.  Even hardware development is moving overseas.  That's one high-paying and specialized field.  The US (and other western countries) are training their competition and weakening their future strength in some very important areas.

"You are right, if by ""a lot of time"" you mean a lot of occasions lasting a few milliseconds each. This is one of the oldest arbitrages in the book, and there's plenty of people constantly on the lookout for such situations, hence they are rare and don't last very long. Most of the time the relationship is satisfied to within the accuracy set by the bid-ask spread. What you write as an equality should actually be a set of inequalities.  Continuing with your example, suppose 1 GBP ~ 2 USD, where the market price to buy GBP (the offer) is $2.01 and to sell GBP (the bid) is $1.99.  Suppose further that 1 USD ~ 2 EUR, and the market price to buy USD is EUR2.01 and to sell USD is EUR1.99.  Then converting your GBP to EUR in this way requires selling for USD (receive $1.99), then sell the USD for EUR (receive EUR3.9601).  Going the other way, converting EUR to GBP, it will cost you EUR4.0401 to buy 1 GBP.  Hence, so long as the posted prices for direct conversion are within these bounds, there is no arbitrage."
&gt;it's still a foreign company that is getting the lions share of the money and contracts.  Welcome to the world of the multinational corporation. They're everywhere; its just that they used to be more likely to be based out of the US but that's changing as well - See Bayer, Honda etc for examples.
The laws of the United States of America require that the federal currency issued is accepted as legal tender for all goods and services anywhere within this country.  One really has to wonder what the motivation behind this story is. VISA obviously knows that such a move is illegal. I am skeptical that there's any truth to the article at all.
