call / put theory help

Posted by: GuitarGenius7 on Jul 28, 19:51

My thought: "Smurfs is gonna make less than 20Mill"

Do I Short the Call or Long the Put?

Should I just do some math (ugh) and figure out, with current prices, what the best gain would probably be?

Is that how Calls and Puts are played? I got in on a thread about shorting and longing these and it just twisted my brain. I think I can handle it now, but I can't find that thread...

Thanks in advance, either way!

Ok, bear with me... accountant_4_Jesus Jul 28, 20:13

Correction, the Call for The Smurfs is for $25M, not $20M. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 28, 20:14

A call says the movie will hit the strike price. A put says it won't. LONG the choice you agree with and SHORT the one you disagree with. {nm} PVL Admin Jul 28, 20:45

Unless you think it will only miss or hit its strike price by a minuscule amount, in which case you short both Call & Put. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 30, 05:40

The math isn't that hard JohnTEQP Jul 28, 22:04

I'm a little surprised to hear a seasoned player say that 'because it is trading at $60, so it will probably adjust near that' ndmaster Jul 28, 22:26

Yeah, I was pretty spectacularly wrong on this one JohnTEQP Aug 01, 12:17
