    Who else thinks that crude oil will raise?

    I'll check it out further. Oil is trading for 56.57 and a call option at 57.oo for 31Dec is 3.15 / XLE. It seems like a safe bet if it rises just a bit more with the winter arriving. Gas prices often rise this time of the year when they transition from summer fuel to winter fuel.

    BTC $500k, ETH $42k, ChainLink $1,400

    I can visualize him ( or someone else) selling CD's on late night tv explaining how you too can become a bitcoin billionaire. And at the proper cue, you will see a yacht slowly sailing past him in the background, with attractive yacht girls lounging on the deck.......lol

    Apple Options

    Thanks, I 'll check out Tony's book. Straddles require more time than I want to invest in them. Covered Calls are about as far as I want to go with options.

    Apple Options

    I understand the fundamentals, at least I have read about them, but I have never applied the lesson to what I was doing. I have always been winging it compared to the details others apply to options. Basically, with the same logic I listed above. I always thought Apple was a safe bet...

    Apple Options

    Manufacturing High Voltage Transformers: Why Not get USA into the business of ?

    We need to protect our transformers against a Carrington Event from the Sun and EMP attacks from rogue nations. From what I understand, it is done with circuit breakers placed at specific intervals along a line. This includes railroad tracks which can transmit EMP's as well as power lines...

    Life after 50

    I think most of them would prefer it that way. Rich people, (the ones that earned their money) would prefer to fly under the radar, and actors hire people to keep them in the spotlight.

    It's funny that the world's richest man needs an ID tag, but the two guys from Hollywood don't.

    Life after 50

    I watched that movie last night. I did not know that was him. The movie was not that great, although the action scenes were pretty good when the aliens were attacking.

    Lumber/Plywood

    I know this is not at the top of everyone's list. But if I could mandate one social change for the U.S., I would insist that we change to the metric system. The rest of the world uses it. We lose billions of dollars in export revenue because our machinery is tooled to the standard English...

    Biden raises minimum wage for federal contractors to $15 an hour

    They have always done that. I worked at Red Lobster during high school. They profile everyone because a pattern of tipping exists with certain guests. Large tables of people are welcome because it means a large bill and large tips. And people are in a good mood to tip. Businessmen have an...

    Life after 50

    They are tough guys but I still think that Frank Zane was the best, well rounded bodybuilder of all time. I know the guys above are power lifters, but when I see pics of FZ in his prime, it's everything good about powerlifting. He won 3 Mr Olympias. He trained with Schwarzenegger, who won 6...
