    Did you ever fix the back yard?? I never saw the pictures in the listing. That can be "equity sweat" that most people would appreciate... Before winter comes...

    Exhale...Apple covered call

    Well, I bought another 100 shares this morning. I had my price in for a few days...Just waiting for a fill. Bought at $176.67...Then did a covered call for the Jan 23 $200. I got $6.45 for that call. I believe I missed the X-dividend date, but that's OK. I sold a large lot (1/3 of an acre)...

    Sysco and similar restaurant suppliers.

    I own some Sysco...They are everywhere!! Think; restaurants, schools, colleges, hospitals...I like going with industry leaders. I would talk to the owner of the local cafe about Sysco...I'd hear him moan and complain about their pricing. I bought some stock and have done quite well. They do...

    WeWork IPO, stillborn

    I'm going to start my own company...Raise a few billion. I'll go head to head with them...I'll call it "You And Me Work". We'll see who lasts... What was proprietary about this company?? Proprietary information encompasses virtually anything a business uniquely does or creates. It includes...

    Here's my house for sale -- any suggestions? Thx

    Watch you redo the countertops and cabinets. Then the new buyer says "we'll take it!! All we need to do to make it our own, is get rid of these ugly new countertops and cabinets..." About 40 years ago...The basics haven't changed. The 4 Ps of Marketing; price, promotion, place, and product...

    Large lot in California...Should I sell it or hold??

    It closed today...I think I got more that I thought I would. Just put some in US Treasuries and two stocks (XLB & BSG). I'll hold the rest in Fidelity's money market account...Waiting for anything that looks good. Boring I know...

    Here's my house for sale -- any suggestions? Thx

    But, but, what if one California schmuck (who doesn't know house values) wants to over pay?? What then?? Ken, I'm going to be honest here...Joking aside (want to tell the truth). The work you did on remodeling was good...It wasn't great. It didn't look like craftsman work. I am wondering if...

    Exhale...Apple covered call

    Only about a quarter to one sixth of my stocks are covered calls. As I have said before, I pay little to no income tax. It has worked out good/fine for me. Yeah, good quality gets called away...That's a given. I'll give two quick examples how I trade. I own 300 shares of BG...Very boring...

    Exhale...Apple covered call

    I try and do covered calls waaay out of the money...Just for extra income (quality companies). I have a option (100 shares) on Apple for the Jan 24 $190. Really don't want it to get called away...But too cheap to buy it back. Time decay is my friend, in moments like these...

    People at MySpace were given more latitude and see where it landed. Jerry Springer...Just saying without "some" monitoring you get real crazy real fast!!

    I have been censored and kicked out of LinkedIn after decades :-)

    Yes...People will flock to it. The problems is you would get many wackos (Big Foot/no Holocaust) types waiting to post. Thinking "The National Enquirer"...Which people will laugh at. But, didn't The National break the Monica Lewinsky story back when...Or was that Drudge?? Is Elvis alive and...

    Facebook fact checked this guy during the pandemic. He appeared many times on DW which is on PBS!!! He purposed a solution to a major problem...Most countries started to come along to his thinking... I also would post about growing up in my small town...The things we would do in school...

    Tallow anyone?? GrainCorp Limited...Australian grain company

    Just a update...I doubled down on GNC:AU (that is how it reads at Fidelity to buy it). I bought about $5,000. more of this company. You can't just look at their dividends...They do special dividends many times. I'm pretty much writing off their Ukraine holdings for now. I have a large lot in...

    Which way? A Gold Timing exercise

    I do as long as I can covered calls on RING and GDXJ. Very high prices, not wishing to be called away...Small income, but still try to hold for future inflation protection.

    Inflation is not done...

    The next shoe to fall will be state/county/city pensions. California had a "surplus" because of the pandemic for awhile. They gave out $1,000. checks to pretty much everyone (in October before an election). A few months later...Son of a gun, we are running a huge deficit!! Those employees...
