I think understand the business model. I don’t understand the appeal. Of the stock or of the high cost. The subscription is about $50/month. Planet Fitness is $10/month and it shouldn’t be difficult for them to get on the internet either. I guess with Peleton they would display each rider’s stats, but how important is that?

RE: Competition, Barriers to Entry

A road cyclist version of Peloton is Zwift. Main difference is target consumer and the user provides his own equipment.

Indoor Cycling & Running Virtual Training App - Zwift

It's $14.99/month. I haven't subscribed, but I can somewhat see the appeal, especially in the winter. You can virtually ride/race against people you may know.

NVDA is now $168.75. In the extended hours it fell to $163 ($162.50 strike). I don’t know if you can get assigned outside of the 9:30-4 regular session, but I had a $0.50 cushion regardless.

Oh, heck no. I trade SPY options quite a bit, and technically SPY trades to 4:15 and I don't actually know if you can get assigned at 4:15 or not. I have really pushed it a time or two.
Oh, here we go:

That might be an old article. Worth searching for some others.

I think that Peleton targets rich house wives and gay fellers.

So if the price moves beyond the strike in the after hours, but then retraces before the open, it doesn't trigger the option?

Options are "triggered" at expiration. In one second. By "triggered" I mean that the broker has already told you that they're going to assign that option under the conditions that they assign the option when it expires. There's no waiting until tomorrow. Tomorrow is irrelevant. It's over.

If the option is not expiring, then we don't care. Options are not "triggered" by the broker before expiry. Ordinary USA options may be executed at any time by the owner.

How do they notify you? Is there a notification attached to the security when you log on to the account?

That's reserved for people who pay for options, but for sure, $5 swings over the weekend are pretty common and some of them go your way.

Also, if you are notified that you’re assigned, can you close out (buy) the option instead and keep your shares with a covered call or your cash with a reserved put?

Well, at Fidelity, you'd get a couple emails. Not that I would need one. The price basis shown is funny, and the tax reporting is funny (the option is invisible). As you've probably discovered, in a brokerage account you have a date there that you can identify when you bought every single share, but there's not some footnote that says "Hey, remember that option you sold for $1.07? That's this one. That other one is that option you sold for $.93". They clearly use that information, but they don't annotate it for you at all and you can only figure it out using detective work. At least Fido doesn't.

I haven’t bought the same option more than once so I haven’t noticed anything funny. I am short a put and call though in the same stock with the same expiration, but different strikes.

I get a notification about 5 minutes after a trade executes, is cancelled, or expires. Little red dot at the bottom of my screen to alert me of a new notice as well.

NVDA 220826 C 202.5 (+91.67% today)
NVDA 220826 P 162.5 (+74.3% today)
ISRG 220826 P 210 (+28.57% today)

Too bad I’ve only got dozens of dollars invested in shorting those contracts.

Lol at NVDA.

I may have lost control of one. I bought CF (they make fertilizer) about 3 weeks ago and I had covered it at $111 expiring today. It was $111 yesterday and I could have rolled it very profitably yesterday. 116 right now.
