Mail Block: Options question of the week

SPOT is the latest hot #IPO to join the #Options market. So many recent #Options listings started off hot then suddenly cooled. So we have to ask - which hot recent #IPO will you still be slinging #Options on in 2019?

  • SPOT
  • DBX
  • SNAP

Listener questions and comments:

  • Question from Ladmos - Feeling the pain on this TSLA rundown. Probably should have rolled my puts last week rather than waiting for this week when they are now ITM. If stock hits $295 then I\\u2019m definitely pulling the trigger. How do you guys determine when to roll? Is it stock based or option price/volatility based? Question from Bob Thompson: I would like to know the best options strategy to use with a small account?
