I can't wait till you see the bid or ask completely go away on large volume!! Be careful out there... You might like this one too...

Just wondering if you could explain further. I understand the super dividend, delisting and spin-off (GE spun off WABCO)...The option price changed and you had two different options to proceed from (before and after spin-off). Here is my issue. I bought BABA about a year ago ($179 and...

If the government backs up their threat for more accountability...What would happen to stocks like LK and BABA?? What happens to current/future options? Would they get resolved thought the Hong Kong Exchange? Do they go away. Has this happened before with other countries? Thanks for your...

I bought WELL back in March...$43. something. Did a covered call at Jan 21 $50. One of those for the past few weeks, I thought would surely get called away. Patience grasshopper...COVID-19 has to work it's way through years of questions/answers. The lawsuits..."YOU KILLED MY GRANDMOTHER!!"...

Just bought JO at $30.14 again today. Did a covered call again. Nothing in the market looks good. For ALL my stocks (about 40) are down...Which is OK. I've done a lot of covered calls that could be call away in Jan 21. JO is the only one that is currently up. JO is not a LK or a HTZ for...

I am SOOO stupid...I listened to someone on this board!! They said Kohl's Corporation (KSS) was junk...Bad locations, dirty, won't come back. I could have bought and done a covered call at about $16 something. Live and learn...I did my due diligence, should have run with it.

What I saw in Gilead before a potential buyout and the pandemic. GILD is a bio company with profits!! It has bought other bio companies in the past year or so. It has a PE under 20!! How many bios with a pipeline have a PE under 20. As I write, it pays over a 3.5% dividend. There is a lot...

I bought Gilead about a year ago...Did a leap for the Jan 21 $80. It looked OK/fair with their pipeline of drugs...Pre COVID-19. Think I bought in the mid $60s. I found it from Royce Value Trust (RVT) years ago. Royce seems to find these gems...Cheap. It wasn't making much money, but they...

I saw this Australian company...Wondering if it will get bought out?? Or go away... FBR Limited (FBR.AX)

Another way of saying it... https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/06/05/why-avis-and-a-bankrupt-rival-are-soaring-friday.aspx?source=eptyholnk0000202&utm_source=yahoo-host&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article&yptr=yahoo

I own stock in Avis/Budget (CAR). It has gone up big time (since April). I was thinking if you were at an airport counter...And you had to travel (using a rental car) about 20 times a year, who would you use?? I myself, would look at the rewards programs. Do you trust in a contract with...

As a kid, in my local home town broker (who has a seat on the Pacific Stock Exchange) had a smiley face or a frown in his window, depending where the Dow Jones Industrial Average was for that day!! Talk about advanced...

Drum roll...Like clockwork... NEW YORK, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Royce Value Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RVT) has declared a quarterly distribution of $0.26 per share on its Common Stock. The distribution, optionally payable in additional shares of Common Stock, or in cash by specific stockholder...

Yeah, lower cost basis. Think of a retiree who sold their business, paid their taxes, and has a lot of cash on hand. CDs...?? No!! China...?? No! Ford, GM, GE...?? No!! So I try and be creative with boring stable stocks. Just how I do things...

I've held this through the pandemic...Not great. It is up over 350% from it's low. People are wondering if Hertz will be around a year from now. You go to the airport counter and you have your choice of Budget, Avis, or a lesser known name (you can go with Hertz, but do you want to contract...

Getting my quotes in 2001...

You may be right. I was reading and reading. It seems like Schwab may have a $50. exit fee, but it is hard to read between the lines. I did type on Google "exit fees brokers"...I got the below. Most brokers have some sort of exit fee in the event that you close out your account. Depending on...

But, if they send it to a bank...Gotcha!!

Places like Schwab and Fidelity charge about $150. exit fee (gotcha). Do you really want to pay that fee?? Other brokers are about the same. Tell you what, you can keep your account here and buy smaller CDs. Are rates are competitive (we won't tell you about the float). You know, since you...
