I had a friend who was a sports odds maker in Vegas...I don't think he gambled. He was just very good with the odds. This was WAY back on the 1990s...

Now Yahoo Finance thinks I'm from Australia!! Cranky mate!! At least the All Ordinaries are up...Boxing Day sales are good!!

Yeah, I own some Amazon stock. But this video rings true. Deceptive reviews and poor quality.

I optioned Teledyne (TDY) today...Covered call. I did one sell to open June 24 at $500. I got $5.40 ($540.) for the option. Went to CBOE and couldn't get a fill. Then went to Fidelity routing...PFOF. I got a fill with much better price improvement. It is what it is for a retail investor...

AT&T...Cheapest DSL!!

Forget the OP...Where is MU headed?? I bought it awhile back...I've held it through rough times (Roth IRA). I'm sitting on 100 shares, with a covered call for Jan 24 at $85. Will I get called away?? A good 15% profit, but that is the way/puzzle/dilemma/predicament of covered calls...

My wife and I have 6 different accounts...3 at Schwab (two Roth IRAs and a trust account), 2 at Fidelity (Roth IRA and trust account), and a Roth IRA my wife has at T Rowe Price. This does not include the stocks we are looking to buy and option. Yahoo does a few things well...The rest is...

More clean up type stuff. I own 300 shares of Invesco Water Resources (PHO). I optioned 100 (covered call) for $58. It got called away...They grabbed the dividend. This (I believe) was the second option on this stock. The first one had all 300 shares...They expired worthless. I still am just...

Dial up...Netzero Just kidding...

Simple...A box appeared (I believe this morning) on the side of the page. It said "do you want Yahoo Finance Classic"?? I clicked and I was back to normal...

Was able to switch over/back to Yahoo Finance "classic"...Former page. They had switched me to Yahoo Finance 2.0 (without my knowledge...Still bugs to work out). Carry on...

I go for general information with Yahoo Finance. Like I said, I haven't trusted them for 20 years. Also I know that if it's a lightly traded option (example ETF), the last strike price could be days, even weeks old. I just like to eyeball for things like volume, last earnings, company...

You know not what you speak. I do covered calls...That itself tells you no steamroller. They are usually on established, boring, industry leading stocks (think Amazon, ADM, Apple). Last time I saw, 7% of the option market was made up of covered calls. I'm cheap, but not a miser. Have the...

Yes, that page locks up on me... Where I sit they created a whole new front page. Next (example), I will click on the Coke (KO) summary page, they have moved everything to different places. I can get use to that...I have to every few years, when they change their website. Here is the...
