• QUESTION FROM deletethisaccount1: I have a quick question for you, if your option contract becomes in the money and worth something can you sell it on friday of expiration? The example is a paper trade i did with sirius xm and had bought 6.5 calls at .07 (x10) and on earnings it was worth .23 (er was on thursday). on paper i sold but it went up another ten cents on friday. Would i have been able to sell that as long as there was a bid?
• QUESTION FROM NATCH: You guys see the infinite money covered call "glitch" on RobinHood?
