Selling shares of stock
The Media does not affect the stock marketentirely but it has enough potential to disturb it. When the media posts news about any company's impending loss people would start selling that company stocks to avoid losses.
"Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation", involve the promotion of a company's stock through misleading or outright false statements to the marketplace. This happens most typically with microcap companies. After "pumping" the stock, the scammers make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market. This often occurs through telemarketing or internet promotion. A scammer will send a message telling people to hurry and buy the stock before the price goes down. They'll usually claim to have "inside information" or some "infalliable economic and stock market methods" to pick stocks. In reality, they are usually company insiders or paid promoters. Once the fraudsters "dump" their stock by selling it at the inflated price, they will stop hyping the stock, and the investors lose money.
A few options for selling your stock are market order (it becomes immediately executed at the current market price), limit order (it is executed at the price you set).

What you should really consider is the price of the stock in relation to the strike price. If the price of the stock is now way above $16, for example, the underlying stock is $50 now, then exercising the options for the stocks would be more profitable. Otherwise, simply selling the options would be more profitable. The moneyness of the options matter more in this case.
