I think the idea is that the price for spy will go down, but then go back up over the next few weeks

I’m still trying to understand calls, if I buy them, and they fail do I owe anything?

I’m no trading expert but go watch some YouTube videos instead of randomly clicking buttons you don’t understand… you will waste $30 and learn nothing when u could watch someone else on YouTube do it and explain wtf is actually going on

Maybe wait to trade options friend. Can get you into big trouble.

You can't get into big trouble buying $30 worth of calls. Worst case, you're out $30. Come on, man.

Search up the graph for option types. Then only stick to buys, the sell option opens you up to infinite loss

No, youre buying the right to buy a stock at a certain price 100 shares at a time, doesnt mean you have to or even make money off the shares, youll just sell the call for more you bought it for and ez pz Now if you sell a put or call, thats when things can get hairy. A put much more so.

No, you wouldn’t owe anything but here are tips:

  1. Time is your fren

  2. Closer to the strike is your best bet, but $30 wont get you there.

  3. Set your sell limit as soon as you get a contract, the premium can change fast

  4. You will lose most of the time

You can only lose what you put in (ie what you pay for the options contracts… so in your case $30).
