That's the thing I'm checking the app and the calls are all at 100 shares... you can't modify...unless you buying the contract...:francis: I mean if I can't cover the buy wont i lose money? I'll be in the hole breh...:lupe:
No its always 100 shares and you can't modify nothing but how many contracts you buy. No you won't be in the hole because like I just told you you can only lose the premium. You can't lose anymore. You're not a hedge fund shorting the shyt. I really implore you to learn what you're doing before you end up fomo ing your money away just to be down.

Bruh, call options are like “coupons”. You can use these “coupons” to purchase something for less than what its really worth if the price rises past a certain point. If the price doesn’t rise past that particular point, you just lose what you paid for the “coupon”. If it does rise, you can use the “coupon” to buy for cheap and flip it for a profit. That’s all it is. Now this part is not meant to scare you but it’s important. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT ever sell options. EVER.

We're at 470 in pre-market. Everything is going according to plan. AMC, BB, EXPR all looking good. NOK is creeping but by EOD it'll be good.

Learn about stocks/options and stop trying to ride the fukking wave on some fomo shyt. If you cop an option the most you can lose is the premium aka what you paid for the 100 shares. So if you have enough to cop the option you have enough to "cover" if it goes wrong since you can't and I repeat can't lose more than the premium you paid for the option. If you pay 100 for an option that's the most you can lose.
What is a good book or resource for non-financial brehs to learn the basics of stocks/trading?

Updated short float this morning.
Remember when Melvin Capital said they exited all their short positions?
