Article: Trading options is inherently risky, but offsetting options can minimize the risk involved. However, when you minimize risk, you may also lessen your opportunity to profit from your position. For example, suppose you own put options with a strike price of $50. The stock is currently selling at $100, so you are out of the money. You could buy call options with a strike price of $50 (if they're available) to offset that risk. While you'd lose money on the put options, you'd gain an equal (or near-equal) amount on the call options for a zero net gain. When you buy additional options, you'll have to pay commissions and fees to your broker, plus a premium to the seller of the options. If you don't own the stock on which your options contracts are based, offsetting the options can cost you less in commissions and fees than if you exercised the option or sold the contracts themselves.  The commissions and fees typically are standard, and depend on your broker. Some brokers charge per-contract fees, plus commission, while others charge a flat fee for each transaction regardless of how many options contracts you buy. Premiums depend on the value of the option, and may increase if the underlying stock is considered particularly volatile. They are quoted on a per-share basis, with 100 shares in each contract. For example, if an option shows a $0.25 premium, and you want to buy 3 contracts, you would pay $75 in premiums. The only way you can use offsetting to close your position entirely is if you purchase options with exactly the same strike price and expiration date as the options you currently hold.  If the options don't match exactly, they can still minimize the risk your position is exposed to, but they won't close out your position. For example, suppose you hold 3 put options contracts with an expiration date of January 1 and a strike price of $50. You can offset those contracts only with 3 call options contracts that have a strike price of $50 and also expire on January 1. If your call options expire on January 15, they potentially have greater time value than your put options and don't fully close out your position. If you have call options, you would need to buy put options of the same underlying stock at the same strike price and with the same expiration date.  If you have an online broker, typically all you'll have to do is find the correct series and click a button to purchase opposing options. Make sure you buy the same number of contracts for the opposing position as you did for your original position to fully close it out. For example, if you own 5 put options contracts with a strike price of $50 that expire on January 1, you would need to buy 5 call options contracts with a strike price of $50 on the same underlying stock that also expire on January 1.

Problem: Article: Vintage brands such as Puch have more complicated starting processes. First, if the lock has been engaged, start unlocking the moped using the keylock right below the handlebars. Move the handlebar to the right. Put the key inside the lock. Be aware that different brands may require more or less steps to start. First turn the key to the right. When it is turned to the right, you should be able to push it in. Once you do that, turn the key back to the left until the moped is unlocked. On a Puch Maxi, for example, you’ll find the fuel valve on the right side of the moped’s frame. This is a switch you must turn off when you park the moped. You may see the “on” and “off” labels on your moped. Pull the lever into the “on” position. Look near the handlebars for the engine switch. On the Puch Maxi, it’s on the right side. Make sure the switch is flipped to the “run” position. This only needs to be done if the engine is cold from disuse. Locate the carburetor. It’ll have a small black bar poking out of it. This is the choke, which you need to press and hold. While you do this, look downwards and find the small primer button on the carburetor. Press this too. Hold the front brake, which is on the right side of the handlebars, so you keep the moped under control. Find the starting lever under the left handlebar. Keep the pedals level as you pull it. Continue holding the starting lever as you begin to pedal. The engine should start and you should be free to go. If it doesn’t start, you may need to try pedal starting it.
Summary: Put the key in the lock. Turn the key. Turn on the fuel valve. Flip the engine switch. Depress the choke. Pull the starting lever. Push the pedal.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place the dread across your right palm at the root and hold it in place with your thumb. Then, put your left palm on top of the dread. Place your fingertips at the base of your bottom hand. Then, roll the dreads with your palm moving upwards against the hair. Your dread should roll along your hand. Make sure you hold the dread in place with your thumb as you roll it. This will help to roll and twist it so it forms a lock. Roll your dread once against your palm and then move a little further down the dread. Adjust your thumb so it holds the dread in place. Roll the dread and then move further down again. Do this until you reach the tip of the dread. If you notice any lumps or uneven parts on your dread, roll it more rapidly and quickly between your palms. This will help to smooth it out. To help your dreads lock and stay locked, get in the habit of palm rolling them in the morning or at night before bed. You may need to ask someone to help you palm roll the dreads on the back of your head, as they may be hard for you to reach on your own.

SUMMARY: Hold your dread at the root between your palms. Roll your dread with your palms. Move from the root to the tip of the dread. Palm roll your dreads once a day.

Sometimes your need for space can be more serious than simply “needing to recharge.” If someone's actions upset you and that is why you want space from them, wait until you’ve cooled off to let them know. You'll be able to articulate better why you need space when you're feeling more level-headed. Especially if the conversation may grow heated, it is a good idea to rehearse the conversation ahead of time.  Make an outline of your most important points. What do you need your friend to know? Once you have your outline, practice speaking in the mirror. You can always bring the outline with you if you think you may forget an important point. No matter how you go about it, the important thing is just to say what you need to say. Preparation is only effective up to a point. After that, you have to take the leap. Don’t over think it and don’t put it off. Just pick up the phone and call. You can always do this in person too, if it is easier for you. Avoid doing this online, however, as your words and intent could get misinterpreted. If you feel that your friend is frequently overwhelming your space or if you don’t feel like your requests for space are being heard, you may need to set some boundaries. Healthy boundaries are the foundation of a healthy friendship.  Explain which behaviors are okay, and which others are not. For example, maybe it is okay for them to email or call, but not okay from them to drop by unannounced. If you want to sever the friendship permanently, it's important to voice it. Don't put it off and give them false hope. Your need for space will not evaporate. When you need space, make sure you get it. Subtle approaches may work sometimes, but sometimes you need to be more direct. In those cases, you may need to assert your need for space more than once. Keep at it! Claiming the space you need is a powerful act of self-love!
