Just skimming the thread...Some basics. You get concept of the stock dropping 50% and will need to rise 100%...You learned that in second grade, right?? Let's throw out the $2. and $1. stock...It is NOT making money. It's a "potential" future money maker and can not be counted...That is where...

That's why you stick with oil futures people!! Nothing negative could ever go wrong with them...

Ken needs a hard headed woman...

Are you talking about closed ended funds?? Here is the Royce Family of Funds...I love them...

Just skimming the thread...I could be wrong. It seems that whoever owns the option, has the RIGHT to exercise that option. But, they are NOT OBLIGATED to exercise it. Like others have said...It could be not wanting capital gains (long or short term, taxes), death (with no instructions on...

I saw this too. Schwab does the "ask"...I believe TDA (since it is now owned by Schwab), probably does the same. I believe you can go between the bid and ask and get the fill. I don't know what the charge would be...Nothing is for free.

No... But for my case, the ladder of treasuries makes sense to me...Keep it simple.

A few trades... Bought a US Treasure...I believe 5.4 something% for 9 months. Also bought 100 shares of BP in my Roth IRA $39.03...Did a covered call for the Dec 24 $40. I got $4.00 ($400.) for it...Also about a 4% dividend. Sold a dog stock today...FARO. Extra long term losses...Everyone...

Less deferred maintenance...More saxophone!!!

I like this guy's videos. I've clicked on them so much that Facebook thinks I'm from WI. Fine with me...

Do I want to read the fine print of disclosures from brokers?? No, I'm beyond that. Just wondering out loud...

One last thought...Over night buys of CDs or US Treasuries. Would that information be sold?? I'm am talking in the millions/billions type of thing, with Schwab and Fidelity??

Robert, see what I added to my last post. Sorry about the rabbit hole...

I understand about the fully automated...But I may question not wanting to see the small order. Was thinking if I put in a ask on a covered call this evening (market closed), would Fidelity/Schwab's MMs see it before the opening of the markets?? I may be wrong, but I believe they do...Part of...

Say, looking for future trades tomorrow. I usually do basic research at Yahoo Finance...Then the day of, look where the bid/ask is on that option. So I started to look at covered calls at Fidelity. I am sure they track my movement (really don't know why). But do they sell it to anyone else...

Not really paranoid, just curious... Like to a MM...This guy is doing research on these options, this date. Give me a twentieth of a cent...

If you believe that, I have some money to print you...To sell you a bridge...Who's bonds are in junk status.

Is there a fee for the transfer? I am 68...We have set up to have a trust department at a bank handle our accounts, when we are unable. We are trying to consolidate operations... PS Was thinking of that $35. at a credit union we aren't using, just in case...Ah, no.

And when it matures... Easier to move money back and forth at Schwab and Fidelity...

$10,000. maximum for TIPS. It is so much easier to have the money at Schwab or Fidelity...When it matures (at least at Fidelity), it gets swept into a money market fund. Easy to maintain...
