Question from Joe and Linda - I have been knee deep with you guys for the last 14 months and can’t Thank You enough for the wealth of information you provide. One of my favorite quotes: “ Your generosity is only exceeded by my gratitude.” I have a long commute to work in the morning and have managed to listen to all 240+ of the Options Playbook, all of the Bootcamp, 90% of the OIC stuff as well as in and out of the Options Advisor and Futures show. Also haven’t missed Options Block for the last few months.
I purchased Dan’s Trading Options Greeks book and was wondering if he had an audio version. Could easily listen to it on my morning commute.
You so much for all your help, looking forward to the future with you guys. Going to be successful enough to be able to travel thank you guys in person! Thanks Again!
Question from Rayman5839 - Hi! Is the option premium counted toward exercising an option when in the money?. New to options, thanks...So it would only be profitable if the intrinsic value heavily outweighs extrinsic?
Question from Thomas Weber - If I am short a deep in the money call in SPY (delta near 1), what are the odds I will be assigned before Friday expiration?
Question from Alto - Which do you think has a better chance of happening - no more earnings calls or after hours options trading? And which do you think would be more impactful for options traders? Do you have a preference?
Question from 6654P - Why are options on CBOE and CME GROUP viewed differently?
Question from Paul Vasquez - When is the “official” close as far as options expiration is concerned? I’ve had calls assigned and had stocks put to me when the strike was out of the money at market close but it moved in and out during after hours trading. Any light you can shed on how expirations work would be appreciated. Thanks Paul, Sacramento, CA
Question from LL6 - Why did mini options fail? Are they done for good?

Options are not suitable for all investors and carry significant risk. Option investors can rapidly lose the value of their investment in a short period of time and incur permanent loss by expiration date. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk. There are additional costs associated with option strategies that call for multiple purchases and sales of options, such as spreads, straddles, among others, as compared with a single option trade.
Prior to buying or selling an option, investors must read and understand the “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options”, also known as the options disclosure document (ODD) which can be found at: www.theocc.com/company-information/documents-and-archives/options-disclosure-document
Supporting documentation for any claims will be furnished upon request.
If you are enrolled in our Options Order Flow Rebate Program, The exact rebate will depend on the specifics of each transaction and will be previewed for you prior to submitting each trade. This rebate will be deducted from your cost to place the trade and will be reflected on your trade confirmation. Order flow rebates are not available for non-options transactions. To learn more, see our Fee Schedule, Order Flow Rebate FAQ, and Order Flow Rebate Program Terms & Conditions.

Options Bootcamp 49: All Mail, All Day Long
Options Boot Camp

Mail Call: This episode is dedicated to our listeners.
- Question from Neil Filasco - What sets do you recommend to hedge my retirement accounts, in clouding my defined contribution plans? The pickings in these accounts are relatively slim and there are no options to speak of. As one of the newly enlightened options masses, I thank you for bringing me into the fold.
- Question from Chandra Bajpai - Hey Mark, I love the Radio show...I find myself wanting the next show because I something new every episode. My question is: How should a trader handle stop losses on a naked call/put and/or a vertical spread. When should you call it quits? IBD mentions 8% for stocks, but what is the level for options. Thanks.
- Question from Hedger - I am a bit flummoxed when it comes to spreads. I listen to a show like this, that tells me to use spreads. I read a few articles about spreads, and I think I have the gist of it. Lets say ABB is trading for $50, if its going to $55, I can buy the 50-55 spread for $1, if the underlying moves to $55, that spread should be worth the maximum profit of $5. However, in the real world, my experience has been much different. In the real world, that spread would be trading around $2.50 or $3 forever! If I hold the spread, to expiration and all other things hold constant, I "may" get my five bucks, but thats hardly a given. I goes I am asking - What give with spreads?
- Question from ToothFish - Hey Mark and the Black Hat One. Loving the Boot Camp show. Why is it back to once a month? Should be daily! Anyway I have hear you guys bicker back and forth on dark side vs light side trading, but I don't think you have ever actually committed to one or the other. So gun to your head. Which way are you going - premium selling or premium buying?
- Question from Ing86 - Cool show. Learning a lot from all the options talk about XYZ and Apple. But what are some of the crazier things I can trade with options? Can I trade options on a big hollywood premiere for instance? I would have loved to be long calls on the Ninja Turtles or Guardians of the Galaxy. What about sporting events or elections? I would think this would be fertile trading ground for these products. Can I do something like this or is this too outlandish?
- Question from Chilly Palmer - Hey Drill Squad. Lets say I bought calls on Firm A, and then Firm B buts them out (something I am dealing with now). What happens to my calls on Firm A? That firm is doing away and the stock will no longer trade. Will my calls be automatically exercised for me on the day the merger is put through? Should I just sell them now rather than wait for the issue to be settled
- Question from Civas - What is the best way to handle a ratio vertical spread that has moved to my short strike? Close it out as soon as it hits the short strike, even though that means buying back two options on the short strike for every one I sell?Play the wait and see game to see if the underlying retreats and those short options go out worthless? Or add a long premium third leg to my trade to cap my risk - essentially legging into a short iron butterfly? I know Mark is partial to those. Enjoying the app. Thanks for all the shows and the mad knowledge.
