Mail Block/Options #QuestionOfTheWeek

With $TSLA threatening $315 how are you leaning in your #Options trades this month? Would you rather:

• Buy 1-month $300 put
• Buy 1-month $330 call
• Sell 1-month $300 put
• Staying far away from it

Listener Question:

Question from AndersonInvesting - New to options. I use TD Ameritrade but currently I do not like it for options. I was looking at Charles Schwab. Any recommendations for an options newbie? Also looking at AMD puts to protect gains (averaged in at 13.23. Earnings date has been announced for May 1st.) Any suggestions there?
