Disregard what I said.

Use This as a test to get an idea of what your puts are worth.

That blurb I copy, pasted and edited from here which has a much more clear guide to determining what your puts are worth in building a quick model in Excel.

A put has worth if its strike is higher than the underlying if you are long that put. If you're short the put or have leveraged up you could have a bad time.

Would I only lose the amount I invested ($X), or would I lose more than that?

Would I be forced to buy the 100 shares since my bet went the wrong way?
You would be out the cost of the contracts. So I buy 20 BA puts with a strike of 360 for 2.77, I am in for 20x100x2.77 or 5,540. if the stock doesn't go below the strike, I am out that cost. If it goes to 350, I have the right to sell 20x100 shares of BA at 360. Which would net 20x100x(360-350) or 20000 minus 5,540. I would likely sell the options to close the position rather than exercise them, however.

I saw they pulled guidance and cut the buyback and it was up a bit. Maybe the 3 billion in estimated costs for paying off families and airlines for damages was less than the market was expecting. dunno

Thermo Fisher beat top and bottom estimates and made a small raise to 2019 fiscal guidance and it's down 1%+ too

200+ earnings reports today and tomorrow. Looking for Visa, Lam, and Paypal this afternoon. Not sure if I want to trim my PYPL position before close or not. Probably won't.

I bought some shares of Disney (DIS) earlier this week hoping for a nice run up with Avengers 4 coming out tomorrow, and the earnings report coming on May 8th.

And today the news comes out that they're trying to buy Comcast's 30% stake in Hulu, when Disney already owns 60%.

Combined with Disney's own streaming service which will come out in November, I think this stock will go balls out for the rest of the year.

I just sold 70% of my Disney, so it's pretty much assured to keep rising.

I've owned it for several years and it's been a dog the whole time. Then this year it shot up to a 20 percent profit for me, which is my signal to sell enough of my holdings that I'm only leaving profit in. (It's an element of my "Rain Man Fee-Free Mutual Fund" strategy.) I was debating breaking that rule to keep the stock since it seems to be having a great run. I probably should have.

I've done well over the years with Capital One as my online bank. Their money market account is at 2.00%. I, of course, am only in their 360 savings/checking account which is at 1.00%. Will need to look into whether I should be switching or what, as that's a significant difference (obviously).

I hope some of you were paying attention to (BYND). There's a lot of emotion built into this one that might allow for some fun.

It's too early to dump it. Long-term play, at least until the Chinese market turns.

I bought a shitload of KBLB years ago at.02.. Sold it at .04 bought it back at .06 sold it at .04 . so I made some then lost some. I'm too ****ing impatient.

I thought they had a great product and I got in at the beginning. They cross silkworms with spider dna and make a super strong spider silk that the military is using for ballistic vests. Stronger than Kevlar. I talked my brother into buying 100,000 shares. He's a military guy so he said hell yeah. Well he owns those shares still and I have none.

Today it closed at .2499

I had like 500,000 shares at one time. ****!
