So what is happening on a Sat. night in NYC?
Well it is the 8th day of the 1st Trader Joe's opened in NYC (Union Square).
At 6:30 there is this long line almost half of an ave. that people are waiting to get in. And guess what, I waited. I don't know much about the history of trader joe's all i know is they open next to the empire of grocery store "Whole Food". Just because of that, I have to go in.
Well they are not as big as whole food,and don't have much of the organic stuff. As most of the new yorker knows the price of any grocery store is not cheap even the one on Ave. C, and forget about one at upper east /west.
So i guess the main attraction of Joe's is the price after all. what a surprise.
Options trading for beginners might be the aspect that many novice investors and traders overlook. They all love to learn advanced techniques. Yet, how can you have flying leaps without a stepping stone? Building a solid foundation of basic options trading knowledge is the top priority for beginners. Scroll down this article to unfold effective strategies for entry-level options traders.
What is the Basic Options Trading for Beginners?
Effective Strategies for Options Trading
There are two main types of contracts in options, including call and put. Investors and traders are likely to use the results of technical analysis and fundamental analysis to draw insights into market trends. Then, they decide to buy or sell their call or put options. This section deep dives into some basic options trading strategies for beginners.
Buying Calls (Long Calls)
Buying a call option is a recommended action to the expectation that the price of an asset will rise. In case the market moves in the opposite direction, you only have the limited loss of the premium for the options.
For example:
If you want to buy $165-priced Apple shares with an investment of $5,000. It means you can buy around 30 shares. A scenario is that the stock price can increase by 10%, around $181, over the next month. Not to mention any brokerage commission or transaction fees, your portfolio will be around $5,445 – a net dollar return of $495, equivalent to 10% of the investment.
Such huge potential profits can come along with great potential losses, can’t they?
The good news is that if things go awry, you only have to suffer from the loss – the paid premium. It is a real bargain when you gain unlimited profits with limited losses.
Buying Puts (Long Puts)
A put option allows the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price by the expiration date. Those who are cautious of a specific stock, ETF, index, etc., or want to earn profits through the falling price actions.
For example:
When expecting the price of a security to decrease from $60 to $50, you can sell the stock short. Yet, it can be risky as your forecast can be wrong. So, the recommendation is to buy the $50 put option with a premium of $2. As a result, you will only lose $2 if the price does not drop as expected. Yet, you can make around $3 if the price of the stock declines to $45.
So, what is the point?
Same with the call options, a put option can leverage the trader’s return to maximum levels while the risks are limited.
Covered Calls
A covered call , as the name suggests, has an existing long position overlaid in the underlying asset. The model works like an upside call to cover the existing position size with the same amount. The writers of covered calls will gain income through the option premium, yet have limited potential for profitability.
For example:
Assuming that a trader buys 1,000 shares at $44 per share and writes 10 call options per which has 100 shares at the strike price of $46. These options will expire in one month. The total cost for 10 contracts is $250.
What is the risk/reward in this case?
If the share price is higher than the strike price by the expiration date, the short call option can make a trader suffer from bigger losses. They have to deliver the shares at the strike price when it can be lower than the market price. Yet, a covered call can help them with limited risk in the form of premium when selling the call!
Protective Puts
A protective put relates to buying a downside put to overlay an existing in the underlying security. The purpose of this strategy is to set the limit of your losses.
The option premium is a must, yet a protective put is a real shield for those who expect downside protection for their assets. It shares some common characteristics with a long put. Yet, it can help you gain profits from a downside move instead of an upside move.
For example:
When buying 1,000 shares of Coca-Cola at $44, you can protect the investment from adverse price actions in the next two months through three options as below.
Options
Premium
$44 put
$1.23
$42 put
$0.47
$40 put
$0.2
If you want to hedge against the risk of a price drop, you can purchase 10 at-the-money put options at $44. Or you can switch to a less costly out-of-the-money (OTM) option to lower the cost to under $200.
Long Straddles
A straddle enables you to capitalize on the future volatility without taking a bet on the real market moves. It means you can gain profits whether it moves up or down. A trader will buy both a call and a put option sharing the same strike price and expiry date on the same stock. So, it can be more expensive than other options trading strategies as it refers to the purchase of two at-the-money options.
Example:
The case is where a trader forecast large price fluctuations after an earnings announcement. The current price is $100. So, they create a straddle by purchasing both a $5 put option and a $5 call option at the strike price of $100.
What Are the Levels of Options Trading?
Options Trading Levels
There are two factors in determining the levels of options trading , including the riskiness and complexity. The strategies that we share above are mostly in the basic learning options trading for beginners. So, they are mostly in level 1 and level 2. Another requirement is to maintain a margin account to gain the approval of the brokerages.
Level 1 includes covered calls and protective puts. It happens when an investor is the owner of the underlying asset.
Level 2 refers to long calls, puts, straddles and strangles.
Level 3 comprises options spreads. It involves the purchase of one or more options while selling one or more different options of the same securities.
Level 4 relates to the writing of naked options.
What is The Best Way to Learn Options Trading?
There are many ways to kick off your options trading. Yet it can be an odd lack if not mentioned online education. Many successful traders now share that they collect useful knowledge and tools through online classes.
FAQs

Yes, they can as long as they master the crucial basics. Getting themselves familiar with common terms and entry-level options trading strategies is the least they should do before trading options.

The rate ranges from 10% to 50% per trade. For example, if you start with $10,000 in an options contract, you can earn from $250 to $1,000. Yet, realistic trading involves risks so it is crucial to stay focused on the enhancement of trading knowledge and risk management.

The people of South Sudan are being urged to “rise up and be the drivers of peace” in communities across the country as nine governors came together for an historic peace conference in Yambio.
The local governors, along with state government representatives, religious and community leaders, gathered in Yambio, in the western Equatorias, for the first ever such peace conference, under the theme “peace within and across borders”.
The conference was designed to kick-start a local reconciliation and peace process that is hoped could be replicated across the country as South Sudan continues to confront ongoing violence four years after civil war erupted in 2013.
“Enough is enough. The time has come to end war, to have forgiveness, to have peace, to revitalize ourselves as South Sudanese people to move our country forward,” said Gbudwe Governor Daniel Badagbu Rimbasa.
“We are not here to point fingers but to forgive. We must be the drivers of peace. The people of South Sudan must rise up so that peace can be owned by everyone in the country.”
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General, David Shearer, spoke at the conference about the three key ingredients to peace - reconciliation, the maintenance of security and stability, and the building of resilience and ultimately development.
“Reconciliation has to come from within, it cannot be imposed from outside the country,” he said. While it is ultimately the government’s responsibility to maintain security, the United Nations is here to stand beside you and help maintain that stability.”
The Head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan also announced the doubling of peacekeeping troops in Yambio to 300 to increase patrols along insecure roads and provide a protective presence in communities so that people feel safe to return to their homes.
Yambio is a lush and fertile region in the southwest of the country, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was once a bustling trading post but hundreds of thousands of people fled the area during the violence. They have begun to return as the region experiences a lull in the fighting with crops are being cultivated again and markets now bustling with activity.
David Shearer said this relatively stable situation provided an important opportunity to build durable peace.
“There is a real chance to help people build resilience and livelihoods so they can support themselves and their families. It is an opportunity to see something beyond guns and war - a chance for people to develop, move forward and to feel they are receiving a dividend from peace.”
Religious leaders urged politicians to use the conference as a launching pad for peace across the region.
“Let us use the language of peace not war,” said Episcopal Church of South Sudan Archbishop Peter Munde. “If all of us are for peace there will be no war. Peace will come to South Sudan.”
His words were echoed by Catholic Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala.
“This conference is not to dwell on the past. The past does not define us. It is what happens today and going forward that will make us proud of who we are as a nation,” he said. “We are not coming here to count the wounds or to count our problems. We are here to ensure that tomorrow is brighter for the people of South Sudan.”
The dire economic situation and lack of infrastructure, including roads and hospitals, are holding back the progress of peace and development in the area.
A new paediatric wing at the Yambio Hospital has also just been opened by UNICEF and other humanitarian partners.
UNMISS engineering contingents have also committed to carrying out road repairs on major supply routes which will enable safe travel for local motorists and traders. This will also support the peace process by enabling continued contact between participants representing different communities and tribes.
That comes as the local governor urges communities to put tribalism behind them and come together as a united people.
“The time has come where we are South Sudanese people, not tribal people,” said Governor Daniel Badagbu. “Our time has come. This is the time for us to embrace peace, to embrace reconciliation, to embrace development. Let us change from war to embrace peace. Guns cannot solve our problems. The only real weapon is dialogue.”
The vice chair of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, Ambassador Lt. Gen. Augostino SK Ngoroge, urged conference participants to promote tolerance and reconciliation to “build a bridge across your state boundaries towards peace and social harmony as well as economic development for all South Sudanese people”.
“We must do better and correct the mistakes of the past so that we have peace, justice and reconciliation,” he said. “We must all work together to achieve the goal of sustainable peace in South Sudan.”
David Shearer said that the perception of South Sudan outside the country was largely negative. But the conference in Yambio represented an opportunity to change that impression.
“I want to be able to go and talk to the (United Nations) Security Council and to the international community about this conference. I want to say there are opportunities here. There are people in South Sudan who want to take those opportunities for peace and prosperity and we should support them,” he said.

ThePelt Trader pub round the back of Cannon St station. Excellent beers including Bristol Beer Factory, Moor Beer, etc. Ironically Kernel Pale Ale from Bermondsey only a few miles away is more expensive than Lagunitas IPA from the USA which is stronger and hoppier. Kernel beers are all good but soooo pricey.

I finally made it to Trader Joe's, just a few blocks from my new apartment. Every once in a while you walk into a store and think, these guys have a good business plan. I arrived ten minutes prior to closing, and there was a flock of people who got off the bus across the street and sprinted in, visibly thankful to have made it before the doors shut. Inside were 300 customers and 250 employees, 549 pairs of really tight jeans, and 700 tattoos. The food is reasonably priced and incredibly well-packaged, it's impossible not to want to buy everything, especially food you'll never eat, so it can just sit in your pantry and look fucking beautiful. The trip inspired the attached craigslist ad.
