Context: My dad (60yrs old) has been working his whole life. He started out in a grocery store when he was 14yrs old. He’s now a steam fitter/ plumber and still has 180k on his mortgage. He deposited 12k into robinhood and I want to make him money so he can retire.
I’m clenching calls with every pound of gripage my 160lb body can produce.
Edit: I will be posting gain and/or loss on Wednesday.
Edit 2/18: so both of my parents took money out their 401k. Totaled around 100k+. My mom is a recruiter and bought a $70k suburban. Oh, and btw I’m only 17.
Edit: just so everyone is clear my dad knows. He has around 3k in stocks but the other 9k is in buying power. I will be using the 9k. Sorry should have specified that earlier.
Edit 2/19: I will be posting gain/loss on Tuesday.
Edit 2/20: Option orders are placed. Wish me luck.
Edit 2/21: options cancelled before market open. Will update when I buy.
