Are defined benefit plans being phased out? Defined benefit (DB) pension plans have fallen out of favor. Despite superior performance in providing retirement income, employers are turning away from DB vehicles and toward the use of defined contribution (DC) plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s as...

Watership Down was about the same time that I also read Jonathan Livingston Seagull!!

One of about 10 disclosures they have on options. Enjoy...https://www.theocc.com/getmedia/a151a9ae-d784-4a15-bdeb-23a029f50b70/riskstoc.pdf; And this is just the governments disclosure. Wait till you get to Tastytrade's disclosures!!

Outside observer here...Disclosure, I do own stock in Schwab. That has nothing to do with my thoughts. I am one of those boring guys who reads the disclosures (options) fully. Three red flags I have heard from you. #1. Level two trading. Someone who is committed to level two trading must...

Did some research...PCRHY is the new symbol. It is on the Pink Sheets/OTC... Pink sheets are usually not good. We do know there is less accountability toward stock holders. It all depends on who J.P. Morgan used... A fair amount of volume...But no bid/ask as I look. I believe you should...

I did sleep well, past 10am... It was just (in my dream), towing an class A motorhome with a car!! It may not end well...

I called Fidelity this morning...Then I'm heading back to sleep (CA time). As of yesterday, my shared got converted to the unsponsored version...It looks like no fees were involved and no partial shares to deal with. I asked about volume of trade...It is all over the place and lighter that...

As many on this site knows, I will buy ETFs then do covered calls. Many may be way out of the money...Just for extra income. If it gets called away I may get (example); 5-7% profit, 2% from the option, and maybe 2-3% dividend. It it doesn't get called away, I still have; the EFT, option...

I have it on my calendar to call either tomorrow or Thursday. When I have called before on foreign companies (Schwab/Fidelity), they won't say much. This is because they are not allowed to practice law (give advice), they are usually vague on insight... What I did a year or so ago, (when I...

I have NEVER said I am an expert trader!! I do have decades under my belt. The last time I checked, about 7% of all options were covered calls. Not a big portion by any means...But, it can not be totally ignored. I am more of the boring investor who looks for under valued stocks/ETFs, then...

That's a no-brainer, ain't it? Dollar does lose its purchasing power in an inflationary environment, after all. Anyway, here's a quick pointer on intermarket analysis. Hope it helps. The U.S. dollar trends in the opposite direction of commodities A falling dollar is bullish for commodities; a...

I believe the dollar would have to drop against other major currencies...

You got me wrong...I probably have traded options before you were born (1980's). As reference look up Cabin111...That's me. I dropped Firefox and couldn't log into ET, so I switched to Cabin1111 (with Baron's approval)...I lost my gmail account too!! What I am showing people is my most...

So then just do covered calls...Till it gets called away?? I bought something like this, for both me and my kids...

It's really not an investment...I have a ton of investments. It's insurance...Tell me what will happen with super inflation?? In 1923, at the most fevered moment of the German hyperinflation, the exchange rate between the dollar and the Mark was one trillion Marks to one dollar, and a...

So I have bought this in my IRA...Several hundred shares. I purchased it a few years back for inflation protection (super inflation). This is when Biden (and congress) were spending and printing money with no end in sight. There seems to be no end in sight with the printing of the money even...

I am starting to rethink certain positions. With my trust account, I will glean short and long term losses over the years. Match them up for tax time with the gains. I will even glean my losses earlier in they year...I am fine with that. Nothing strange or earth shattering....It makes tax...

I bought Google and Amazon below $100. a couple years back. If I put in stop loss orders (10%), I would have been stopped out!! Instead I did covered calls and made about 20% annualized return... One size does not fit all...

A J...Thank you for your time and input.

This got called away today...I am fine with that, good profit. Just curious, I noticed the Port of Baltimore doesn't deliver many (or no) Hondas there... I don't know it that would come into play. I haven't bothered to check the dividend date. It's gone...Move on and enjoy the 5%+ on the...
