Buying PUT options on companies in bankruptcy is a good way to profit? They all have downward trends! Yes? No? Why not?

The Indian Rupee is steadily gaining against the US Dollar. This has created tension among US Indians who earn and send money to India. Within months, the rupee gained 6 rupees (i.e. 1 USD ~ Rs.45.50, but now it is 1 USD ~ Rs.39.35).

put is closer to the expiration date?

So is it that the options are calling for you to be risky, giving yourself less time to get in and get out?

Is there any advantage to buying near the money put options that are several months out? Time would be good...

I've been with a company for a little over three years and resigned recently. Should I roll the funds into a traditional IRA? Why or why not?

I am being told that in a 401k the "funds" you invest in when you do fund transfers/or reallocations you are actually buying and selling those funds, is this correct? We are not able to take the money we make from it and run with it, so I fail to see the common factor in this than stocks. I feel this statement of buying and selling funds are miss leading because how can you sell something you don't have yet, or how can you buy something that is based on stock market price not what someone is selling as. ???
Please help me understand.

Please any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
1) 70,000 money market
2) 170,000 S&P 500 index fund
3) 30,000 international stock market

My plan is to have a emergency reserve of 70,000 in money market. If a hot investment comes up, I could always take money out of money market and invest as I choose.

Second is too have a majority of my money 170,000 in a moderate risk S&P 500 index fund for at least 5 years. Im thinking of just leaving this money in there and forgetting about it.
Third is to put about 30,000 in a high risk stock such as international. But I don't know where to invest. Did research but still unsure. China has been doing really well but some say they'll crash others say they'll keep rising. So confusing. Since stock market tends to do better long term, I plan to leave it for at least 7 years.
My plans decent?? Please ANY advice, comments or suggestions would really help.

I am 17, have invested in mutual funds and will add more. So, there is this 1 mutual fund that if I reach the amount of around 2000 USD, there is a free LIFE INSURANCE of 4000 USD. What do you think? I diversified my portfolio in mutual funds. 1000 USD in one account and 1000 USD in another. Will add around 2000 USD this December and maybe another 1000 or more again next year either February or March. I will not touch any of these until I have idea of really good business. Hoping to reach Millions in the future... So, is the offer good or is it bad? I want to really live a great happy rich life when I reach around 40+... My family has businessess etc... but I want to have my own business seperate from my family... Any other business ideas? I still have more time to grow anyway......
My family owns a funeral home, biggest in my province, 1900+ square meters, a drive-in hotel of 19 rooms & more...

Hopefully I can be like trump by 50.......... I want to be a billionaire..... hopefully

er in direction (up for a call), (down for a put), to your strike price at purchase, the more valuable your position becomes? And as the price per share moves away in direction, (down for a call), (up for a put) the less valuable, possibly even a loss ...your position becomes?

In other words, being in the money really only counts when you want to exercise the option to buy or sell the stock from the writer of that option? So that an options buyer does not have to ever be in the money to make money.

Am I correct here? Cause I notice a lot of people buying near the money and maybe there is some advantage, but not quite sure what that is.

I have made several trades in my Roth IRA in the last few days. Is the buying and selling of the same stock in the same day considered one or two trades? I know it takes 4 trades in 5 consecitive business days to be marked a "pattern day trader". So what would really happen if my IRA was "marked", and since IRA's arn't eligible to be margin accounts, does it even matter? What are the consequences?
