Futures Options Feedback: Listeners have their say

  • Comment by DCVic - Hey Nick good call on puts and gold futures. Thx.
  • Comment from Angel - Looks like bitcoin is the digital flight to quality after all. No selloff with equities.
  • Question from Matteo - I'm selling monthly put options on the eMini. So I'm short options and short premium. But I'm collecting time decay. So does that mean I'm actually long theta? Help I'm confused. Also an update please on bitcoin options? Thank you so much.

Futures Options Feedback: Listeners take over

  • Question from Mate7 - Good talk on ex. and settle on last show. I'm looking over the CME website option specs pages and I don't see many American style contracts. Why does CME use so many European contracts? Are they against early exercise?

Futures Options Feedback: Listener questions and comments

  • Question from Cambel: Oh no! Did the millennials kill cheese? Are they coming for fluid milk next?
  • Question from Inlo: Is it only possible to exercise a FOP that has the same month as the underlying future? If I’m long an April CL future do I also need an April put option? Or can I exercise a May CL option on a April CL future?
  • Comment from Olivetrader2: I like the Thursday show, actually. I was supposed to be downtown but I couldn't go. Listening to your show instead.
  • Question from Sam Harris: Question for TWIFO. Hello Nick, Mark and Sean. Fun program. I particularly like the research guests since they usually bring up topics that are new to me. I was talking with a friend recently about exercise and settlement (nerds, I know). He brought up an interesting time frame to exercise an option - when it goes ITM and the spread is simply too wide. Exercise may actually be the cheaper option.
  • Question from Mizander: Why exercise future option early? Doesn't seem make much sense?

Futures Options Feedback: Listener questions and comments.

  • Question from Leo Orland: What is the base mining/production cost for gold? Are we approaching that level?
  • Question from Tatlas: Love Vol Views and TWIFO. I miss the Two-fer Fridays with both shows. Keep up the crude info. Have a somewhat basic question. Can I trade options on WTI/Brent or just futures. Thx again.
  • Question from One0761: Are we in the mist of a major correction.
