There are also times when the value of using charts is questionable. For example, if the underlying drops 20% in a day, say from $25 per share to $20 per share, and there is only one trade for a particular option on the underlying that day, it could make a big difference in the price if the option was trading $25 or $20.

when you realize your stock is losing money repeatedly and want to sell it, does the leftover money get paid back from the company that you invested in? or does it come from somewhere else? are you guaranteed to be able to get whatever is leftover returned back to you?

i've never invested in stocks before but i am interested in reading and learning about how everything works, and may possibly want to invest through a company such as Charles Schwab or Fidelity.

any other advice you have would be much appreciated, such as where to begin, etc.

Hi, I want to start investing but I really don't know where to start. I like the idea of buying stock and have a decent amount of information on how it works (basically buy a growing co. then sell when you feel the time is right).

I don't even know where to start really, what site to use, how to even do it. I would greatly appreciate if one can go through the steps with me and give me some tips that I can use to help me as a beginner.

I was curious, with the markets being up 5% in the last two weeks has everyone lightened up their stock positions. One of my rules of investing is to always lighten my positions as the market goes up, and to put money back in as the market goes down. In the last few days I have lightened my positions by about 25%. Now I may end up kicking myself if the market continues to go up another 10%, but I have learned from experience that I would be more upset if the market dropped back 5% and I hadn't taken any money off the table. So I'm curious as to how many others have lightened their positions, or are you letting everything ride?

long positions? In other words, if I buy an option and the share price spikes on a given day, will my option position increase in as much value for a longer postion as it does for the shorter long position? I realize there is a time premium, but all things being equal, in as much as we are in the near early purchase of an option, do you make as much off the longer position as you do the shorter long option position?

I am thinking of watching day highs and lows for in the money calls and puts for several symbols and going from there. Is there anywhere I could find historical charts and data on such things or will I have to tough it out and retrieve data over a period of time?

I realize I could use some sort of calculator, but doesn't the volatility figure into the formula for options value?
