Hey Nerds: Blockchain

How do you go long on calls? If you buy calls, you're expecting the price to rise. So all you have to do is say I bought calls.

If you say you went long on calls, that implies you're going to hold a while, no? Otherwise you just say you bought them.

I'm not busy with options obviously, so I don't know on this one (not a clear cut case like hoarding).
 
In other words, direction is established by the act of buying the calls.

Saying "long" speaks to duration.

you can also short calls, though...but from now on, I will say "Bought calls" to avoid 12 pages of back and forth

PS: long does not mean long term, just like short does not mean short term
 
MISUNDERSTANDING THAT JARGON IS SOMETIMES NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY!!! THIS IS THE SAME THING!!!


CH1'S OWN HOARD-GATE!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

You can short calls?? This is going too deep into the Stock Matrix for me now.

So if there's a call trading at $1 to buy a stock at $10 next month, you can bet that the price of the stock will go down, making the call less valuable in the meantime?

This is madness.

Sorry to disappoint, but if you can short calls, then he's right in saying he went long on calls. Precision accuracy.

Not like using hoarding to describe accumulation of any kind or any other ordinary action.

it's actually more clever than that----(and there are some shops that make all their money doing that)

example. let's say you think TSLA is overpriced...you can sell the $900 calls that expire Friday this week for $475 each

if TSLA closes the week at 900 or less, you keep all the money

1 is basic trading jargon and the other is....


Oh wait, basic trading jargon.

CH1 didn't actually hold a position LONG! HOW CAN IT BE LONG? AND HOW CAN IT BE HOARDING IF MY HOUSE ISN'T DROWNING IN 100 DOLLAR BILLS?!?!?!?!!?!?!

HOARD-GATE PART 2!!! LETS GET IT!!!
 
No wonder there are so many billionaires out there.

With this kind of maneuvering available to be exploited, I'm surprised there aren't more.

Dummy question here:

GRAMF not listed on Wealthsimple ... but a google search brings up the name TPCO Holding Corp., and there is a GRAM.U with the same name and price.

GRAM.U
TPCO Holding Corp (Class A)

So must be the same company - but what's the difference?

Though I'm disappointed it's another pot stock, I thought Preston was diversifying.
