    My wife's strategy...Let those option people come to me!! Novartis (NVS)

    Des, I respect your input...I just see things in a different way. Why buy a put, when my wife intends to hold this company for a LONGGG time...Through a major recession. It's not just the products/income. She sees the pipeline and partnerships... One home run (bio drug) and she will do...

    Do RECORDED PT for a year...No good results, they will do the MRI and surgery. If it's a partial tear, recovery time is very little and simple surgery. A complete tear...More work and a lot more PT...

    Anyone tear a rotator cuff?

    Just saw this...Had rotator cuff/bicep (total tear) repair back in May 2022. It is one of the longest healing process of any surgery...6-9 months!! You have muscles crossing in every which way. I had three screws put in my shoulder. They put in cow collagen at the site to heal quicker!!

    My wife's strategy...Let those option people come to me!! Novartis (NVS)

    I love my wife...Great woman and great investor. She doesn't like to do many covered calls. She buys quality and wants to hold onto it. A couple of her stocks have been buy outs...To give you an idea. She sees value and is usually right with her decisions. So in her ROTH IRA, she has 100...

    The Most Legitimate Way Of Showing Ones Perfomance ?

    As I'm reading this thread, my mind goes to... Just use Bernie Madoff's CPA... Although Madoff's wealth management business ultimately grew into a multibillion-dollar operation, none of the major derivatives firms traded with him because they did not believe his numbers were real. None of the...

    Moving to Vegas for a year.... tips?

    Just my opinion...For what it's worth. That stuff would get old for me quickly. If you were 10 years younger and entertained clients for a living, that would make sense. Hard truth you may not like it. You're 59 maybe going on 60. If you want LV consider Del Webb communities. Type in "Las...

    Moving to Vegas for a year.... tips?

    Off the top of my head...You don't want to be in the jet flight pattern (Nellis or Harry Reid)...But then if you live in Colorado Springs, it might be second nature for you!!

    LLP vs LLC...

    I have read from investopedia all that I can. I don't want to tell you what I'm planning, investment wise. Just some type of property deal... Just wondering if you have been in one or both?? Downside vs upside?? Liability and being able to get out of the P or C. Yeah, I know it's what's...

    What's exercise got to do with obesity? Not much.

    A few things...I had gastric bypass (RNY). I use to be 300 pounds...I got down to 187, I'm now about 220. When you get the bypass, the doctor usually cuts the vagus nerve in the stomach. This plus they separate the bottom of the stomach (which releases the ghrelin hormone) that causes hunger...

    Love/hate relationship with triple witching hour...

    Usually they are cover calls. I'll buy the stock, say for $99. (100 shares). I'll then do a leap for the $100. a year out. But if I like the company (and it has a good market share and P/E), I'll do a leap for say the $120...Less money, but not wanting to lose the stock. Qlai, Yeah, I will...
