Stock Market seems volatile

I really need to learn options. Also watching Ford.  Going to add it to my portfolio shortly. 

Don't learn from me as I am taking a bath on that option. I usually buy both a put and a call (a straddle) but I ignorantly thought there was way to much upside to bother with the put. But I have 9 months to recover. I agree it looks like a good one to add.

The problem with options is when the strike date hits and you are out of the money it closes and you own nothing. Ford is way down but i can hold it forever or until it goes bankrupt.

Learn straddle strategies. It's harder to lose money. All you need is for the stock to go up or down enough. So buy a straddle with a strike date in 2022 and wait for some movement.

    • Canes need to get back to heavy forecheck, goal scoring, and good defense. Anyone want to take a guess when Svech goes to the box for another dumb penalty?
    • And a better reputation against the run. Something we have desperately needed.  I really think our work against the run last season was very indicative of how important Shaq Thompson was, not just as a tackler but in getting people in place and setting the tone for the group. I've never been on the grab Clowney wagon in previous seasons and actually was dismissive of him again this season because I've thought he never played up to the potential that they said he had. He's been good-ish and solid, but not a game breaker. And when I looked at his production versus what BrIan Burns had produced, well, the math is that as sack artists they are pretty much the same, but there's some plus with run defense and we desperately need some veterans out there to bring our young folks along. In the end, I think he was the right guy at the right time and the trade was a plus overall, not a grand slam or a homerun even, but a solid double that could position us better than we've been in a while.  Edit to add: Oh yeah, and the money worked out better.
