Fuggin CARA, I was trading it a 6, took a small loss on one of my trades. Lesson learned, I can pick good ones when I don't follow the herd, just have to be patient.

Watching youtube videos trying to wrap my head around put options.

If I think VGR is going to go down in the future I would want a Put option right? But what would be the strike price? 20 dollars?

So I would want to buy to open VGR put strike price of 20?

So the option will be in the money if the stock dips below 20?
You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you're a god or a total bastard. The iron always kicks you the real deal. It's the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. I have found it to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But 200 pounds is always 200 pounds.

Yes you would buy a put option. There should be multiple strike prices available, you pick the one where you think you can make the most money, has a premium that you are willing to pay, and a time frame that you want.

So if I buy a put option at strike of 20, the more it goes below 20, the higher the price of the option if I sell it?

What would the point be of buying a put at 17.50 strike? Cheaper option pricing?

Yes which obviously is inherently more risky so you have to have a fairly strong grasp on technicals if you are doing it intraweek or willing to pay a significantly higher premium have more time for it to drop. It works best if you have a hunch an upcoming event is going to go worse than expected.

VGR pays 280% cash flow out as dividends, funds them with debt.

and the director seems to be intent on dumping all 7 million shares that he has.

http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/vgr/insider-trades

Is that a good enough reason do you think?

If they miss earning again they're finished IMO.

Looking to put some money in etfs and leave it there long term. I'm trying to buy a few different sectors. Can anyone suggest a website or two I can look into to see which etfs are available for certain industries?

SPDR and iShares are the best if you're going the ETF route

IN all srsness, what makes you say that? Vanguard offers cheaper beta exposure pretty much across the asset class spectrum. And, they waive transaction fees since they are a retail broker. BlackRock/Statestreet can't compete w/ dat chit mayn.

Dunno, been holding since last year when I bought the dip. I'm guessing its gonna split once it hits around 1k. How nice would it be to get a 7 for 1 split like apple did?

Honestly I still think AMZN is a good buy. Its only going to keep going up. Jeff Bezos is now the 2nd richest man in the world after the AMZN rally last week.

Idk might hold or keep pushing up. Lots of people have huge money invested. They won't be shaken out so easily. Today was just a squeeze if you ask me.
