    Dusting off my LEAPs again...

    Marriott and above, I could see it in their hotels. Wyndham Hotels (WH...Which I use to follow [own]), I don't see it. A fridge, shower, and a TV works fine for those people (me). Yeah, a cheap breakfast...But people are tight with their money. Are you old enough to remember when first a...

    Dusting off my LEAPs again...

    If people can not afford a car (even a used car), what makes you think they can afford a sound system? Bose is privately owned so you can't judge from them. I just skimmed the profile. Sonos deals with falling consumer demand The damage to Sonos stock was even more extensive, as share prices...

    Why are there illegal option orders in the orderbook?

    The key phrase of this thread is..."with it all the margin requirements for the traders..." You tipped your hand. A movie worth watching..."Margin Call". Who said markets (options) have to act rationally?? Remember when oil went negative??

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    Again, for 30-40 years brokers would toss the money (after the execution date...Float time) into a money market fund. I believe all brokers did this. Schwab changed this..."Our bank is so much safer". So, if you forget to trade or move (manually) to a fund, bond, or CD, Schwab Bank uses that...

    Hired 2 maids -- wow!

    Make sure they are an outside contractor!! They have a license and insurance/bond in the city you live in. In one of my audits (30 years ago), the first question they asked was do "you have a maid"!! Easy picking for the IRS...

    Hired 2 maids -- wow!

    "Just someone to keep my house clean, fix my meals, then go away..." For about 40 years my wife and I have cleaning people come in every four weeks (13 times a year). My wife is happy with that arraignment. When I first heard this song I was blown away. The full orchestration (not like St...

    Ag trade ideas

    A year and a half ago you had a perfect storm for the price. You had Russian/Ukraine war...Maybe you will get a truce there. You had the pandemic where people had money (government) and were buying products from China and Asia. This meant that railroad cars were in high demand for other...

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    I don't think you understand sweep accounts and money market funds. It use to be a certain way for 30-40 years... Even different at Fidelity...

    Seeking Immediate Advice on Covered Call

    I know this is hindsight, but if I like (love) a company (and still want option money), I will do a covered call way out of the money. Example...I own 100 shares of Apple. I did a covered call (a few months back) for the July $190.s. Good option premium on a quality stock. I am hoping it...

    FPI

    I own stock in FPI and LAND...Very boring. I am not investing in these companies for income or appreciation. Then WHY do you invest?? Inflation protection... Back in the late 70's inflation was roaring...Like 20%. My dad had money (home, stocks, one rental, and CD's. So what does he do...

    Another buy I was to embarrassed to share yesterday...Gold mining stocks GDXJ

    No...I forget what the option premium was worth. I think it might have been about $1,600. Boeing dropped their dividend at that time too. $10,000./ $1,600. over a year...16% annual return...I can live with that!! It could have been a lot worse, if planes kept dropping out of the sky...

    Another buy I was to embarrassed to share yesterday...Gold mining stocks GDXJ

    How I trade (invest)...When the second Boeing 737 MAX went down (a few days later), I bought 100 shares. I was looking for the post here, but couldn't find it. I think I bought it (just a guess) for about $100. a share. I then did a leap...Because the stock was so low and the option premium...
