Hi I am new to options trading and need a bit of advice to help me out.. I am looking at a put price of.25 and but 100 contracts at $25, when the option gets to the strike period, do I have to buy the shares at that price?, or do I just have to pay the commission and $25 – the 100 contracts at .25.
Hi there guys,
I'm currently at college and my hobby is to play the stock market online. I just use the simulation programs at the moment, so in other words I don't trade with real money. However, in a few years I'd like to be able to build up enough capital to do it for real.

I want to trade options on a stock that is listed on the London stock exchange. Ameritrade and E-Trade don't offer such a service. Do I have to open an account with a brokerage based in a foreign country or what? If so, can you recommend such a brokerage? Thanks.
Real talk, I'm independent, I reside with the right currently because they understand free market trade.
But the thing is the left keeps witch hunting CEO's.
I want to trade options but I do not want to be assigned to a buyer or seller which makes me obligated to buy or sell an underlying asset. I have a little money but I do not own stocks.

I recently opened an account with TradeKing, and I was wondering what an options trade is. Also, why would people want to sell options rather than sell the stock at its market value?

Im a 21 college student and have decided to take a small amount of risk in the market, perhaps trading options. I have an account with the online broker Scottrade that has a value > 25000. I turned in the paperwork for trading options. So if I were to invest a small amount of my portfolio into a call option for (X) tomorrow morning, what steps do i need to take (besides filling out the order form i know how to do that)? Do I have to own shares in (X)? Also it's a $1.25 per contract, so does that mean for each single option I buy it cost $1.25? I just started a course in investments and will learn more about options later this semester, I just want a head start and possibly make some money. Thank You.

I am looking to trade in my car for an SUV and I have 7k left to pay on the car. I think Kelly Bluebook has my car at 4k or 5k. What do you think my options are?
Also, are there any advisory companies that help you with selecting good option buys? I realize all of these are fairly pricey but do any of them help in directing you to the right ones? Thanks.
