So we had discussed a few pointers in the previous thread about options,its time now we discuss further implications and applicability in this thread which will help you in NEW YEAR.
Let’s go and dive into the world of options trading.

-The amount of decay can be measured by theta. This is why you can be right on stock price direction and still lose money. The time decay portion of the option price overpowers the directional move in the underlying stock price.

-During result days due to the heightened uncertainty, there is opportunity for options sellers because of the expensive premium. When entering into an earnings trade, it is optimal to initiate the trade as close in time to the event as possible.

-Keep some cash on sidelines. This would help in adjustments,margin expansion,face losses and also during new opportunities which suddenly arise. A lot of people do the mistake of going all in and regretting later.

-Everything in trading has a trade off.

Unlimited profit comes at the expense of low probability of profit. Give up some profit potential, and you gain a higher probability of profit.
-By using portfolio beta weighted delta, you can accurately gauge your overall portfolio risk. If your portfolio is leaning too far in..

The entire thread will have some quick pointers on options trading. These bullet points are based on experience and learning and even if you are completely new,will help you to build some perspective. So,lets go :

-When new,prefer trading monthly options over weekly options to reduce risk
-Set up your trades with greater than 50% Probability Of Profit
- Use implied volatility in your decision making process
-Book some trades at 50% of max profit i.e. locking of profit incase u are buyer

-Don’t adjust losing defined risk strategies. A lot of people get into the bad habit of averaging and run the risk of losing a lot
-Diversify your portfolio across product, direction, and time,this has to be considered while you are planning to put in multiple strikes in folio

-Short Strangles are one of our go-to strategies because of their high probability of profit and increased profit potential.A little effort with understanding of volatility would help
-Allocate no more than 5% of your account to any one trade

-Trade small, trade often to increase your number of occurrences. Some might deny but this works
-In options you might have heard of spreads.Multiple options legs create an options spread. For example, a short strangle consists of selling a call and selling a put simultaneously.

This thread will help you to understand the index funds really well. If you want more of such threads in future,do comment the topic you want me to cover and don't forget to RETWEET! Let's start :

Who started it?
John Bogle, commonly referred to as Jack, is known as The Father of Index Investing and The Father of Index Funds. Bogle was born in Montclair, New Jersey on May 8, 1929.

What was the first index fund?
After graduation, Bogle went to work for Wellington Management from 1951 to 1974, but was fired because of a merger decision he made. In 1974, he found the Vanguard Group Inc., and in 1976 he introduced the first retail index fund the Vanguard 500

Why should we trust Bogle and not telegram rockets?
Although Bogle was initially mocked for his introduction of the index fund, he proved to be a true visionary and was even named as one of the “World’s 100 Most Powerful and Influential People” by Time Magazine in 2004

What is Vanguard's position right now?
Vanguard has grown to become one of the world’s largest investment management companies, with more than five trillion in global assets under management. Although Mr. Bogle died in January of 2019, his philosophy of index investing is ALIVE.

The entire thread will talk about covid and it's effect on our economy. The data will be backed by facts. If you want more informative threads in the future,don't forget to RT and share with friends.

1. The worst affected sector:
The worst affected of the lot will be travel industry. The incomes produced by movement and the travel industry, which contributes 9.2% of the GDP, will negatively affect the GDP rate. UNWTO assessments portray a fall of 20–30%in global travellers.

2. Positive replacement from China:
A chance to partake in worldwide stockpile chains, multinationals are losing trust in China. In'Make in India', a few changes are required,and if that takes place, manufacturing and API base companies will shift to India giving a growth blast.

3. Construction sector can see loss of revenue :
We saw an appalling mass migration of such coasting populace of travelers by walking,amidst of countrywide lockdown. Wage workers specially working in construction,may not turn back so quickly. Many have preferred farming too!

4. Bankning and Finance sector
For a moment stop comparing ground realities with stock market action. Nonperforming credits relating to retail and MSME sections are on the ascent. In its Financial Stability Report,RBI has also said it fears defaults of many loans in next 2yrs!

What is the Logarithmic Scale? A snippet from my beginners batch. Hope it helps you.

It is used on long-term charts. May be used in a short time frame but would hardly make a difference.

Let's Understand why Narrative is important in investing and how to create a Thesis that can help you to hold a stock in spite of the market environments

Time for a thread with international and Indian examples, Please retweet so that everyone can benefit 🧵🧵🧵🧵

The world we see and defined is given meaning by the words we choose to use. In short, the world is what we make of it. Something similar applies to creating a thesis before investing in a stock. Your thesis is what makes you hold a stock thick and through in spite of bull/bear

Example 1: Amazon- In May 1997, Amazon became a publically listed business. The target price set by analysts was $18 per share. It finished its first day at $23 per share. (So much for targets). In 1999, in the middle of the tech bubble. Same stock was trading at $100 per share.

Analysts were giving targets of $300 per share. However, after the collapse of the bubble many internet businesses went bust, but Amazon survived in spite of a 78% drop from 1999 highs. As we all know, Price changes perception. Same analysts started claiming it was massively

overpriced and claimed its days were "numbered". By the end of 2002, it was trading at 90times cash flow (so much for multiples to account for future)

A small note for the new Trader, this might help you.
