I'm just going to ramble for awhile...Pass on, if you wish. About 3 years ago my wife and I sold a small farm (about 20 acres) in California. I wanted to buy something that would keep up with inflation. That was the SOLE reason for the investment. Not even to make money, but to diversify...

I'm just sharing about my lifestyle...I'll examine myself to see if an ego is involved. I'm 67 (going on 68). I like the idea that I can pretty much walk away from the market for about a week and not go bananas at what happened during that week... I think my trading style is like that 80...

This is one of my stocks that got called away 10 days ago. I don't think I'll revisit it...It came out with good earnings and has been discovered. I'll stop following it and move on...

I can relate to what this executive editor at Yahoo said...Their lead story today. Not watching stocks tick by tick sometimes has its benefits. That's where I am at right now after spending a week in sunny Cannes, France, with my Yahoo colleagues covering the Cannes Lions. We laughed, we...

Went up to Montana on Tuesday to help my daughter and her family move. On Wednesday, I used her computer and bought $25,000. of treasuries (3 months) at Schwab. The Fidelity money can just go into their money market fund. Just got back this evening...Didn't even look at the market for the...

Beautiful mantel!! Just wondering the efficiency of the new fireplace? Is it gas only or wood too...

Your assumption that I am an unread simpleton is nonsensical... Your choice to label and box me in, has no rational context...You have (chose) the wrong preposition. You know little about me. I'm a legal minority...I know what Juneteenth is about. I have seen CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions...

This person is quoting me where there was no quote!!

Baron, rabbit hole...

That is what I figured... Many years ago (when CDs were over 7%), I would make sure the CDs didn't mature on a Saturday. You could choose the day of maturity!! A week day...Not a Saturday, before a 3 day holiday!!

So I will have about $42,000. worth of options getting called away on Friday...I've known this for awhile. They will most likely get filled on Saturday morning. Since Monday is a holiday, it seems I may not have access to this money till maybe Tuesday/Wednesday...Does that sound correct?? T +...

The saga continues...So I got off the phone with Fidelity a couple minutes ago. I received an amount $5,476.66 for the redemption of my 100 shares. I will have to wait till July 21, 2023, before they will allow for the other side to close and fill their position. This covered call remains open...

So in layman's terms, I will get my $5,200. (strike price $52.) and the option will be exercised and get called away on Wednesday. Is this correct??

I, like you, am trying to figure out what will happen tomorrow (Wednesday). I have that covered call and am in the money. Any further word from Schwab, on what will happen for options tomorrow??

So this is a lightly traded ETN on coffee. I have bought this before and done options on it a few times. This may be like USO in oil...A partnership. So I checked my stocks at Fidelity today after market, and it gives me a number for the stock, rather than a symbol. I have one covered call...

You need to understand Market Makers (MM). You need to read several books about them, and how they influence the markets. Come back when you've finished your master's thesis on them...

I just try to do covered calls with SLV, RING, GDXJ. Just get some income, while I hope it rises. I try to do way out of the money calls, just in case it takes off big time...

Let's keep it basic. Can you show me (in the law), where market makers are required by law to tighten bid/ask on an exchange?? You can place your bid/ask on the exchange. I can see it and respond. I know at Fidelity (options) I can request which exchange be used when I trade. Joe Schmo can...

Earth...Are you saying MMs have to tighten option markets? Are you saying they are required by law? Just grabbed this off of Google...CBOE. I see nothing about require... The Cboe Lead Market Maker (LMM) Program is a rewards-based program that aims to provide a superior trading experience...
