    Amazon and Kohl's

    The other day I was thinking of buying Kohls by itself...If it drops. A 2 to 3 year time frame. If J C Penny is gone, Sears is gone, if Macys doesn't make it, where would you go for quality clothes for a birthday or Christmas gift (Easter dress). Yeah, price is a consideration...Which will...

    You can shoot down this idea...Buy QQQ under $180.

    Also you have a lot of pension money sitting on the sidelines...Has to go somewhere?? When and where will this money go? Will it be to proven companies or unstable ones??? Also all your eggs are not in one basket...Example; Boeing, GE, Ford, Avis/Budget, dying industries.

    You can shoot down this idea...Buy QQQ under $180.

    I think it should hit that number soon...Own it...100 shares. The do a leap...June 2021 $185...Enjoy the profit from the option and any dividend it gives you. The stock is at about $181.50 as I write. Is this crazy?? Here is the last, then the bid/ask as I write. 185.00 24.25 20.57 24.46

    I bought RING on Monday...Did a covered call.

    This is how they find oil... Whether employed directly by an oil company or under contract from a private firm, geologists are the ones responsible for finding oil. Their task is to find the right conditions for an oil trap -- the right source rock, reservoir rock and entrapment. Many years...

    I bought RING on Monday...Did a covered call.

    I look at it this way. Either it gets called away (and I've made a solid profit) or in July my entry point is under $17.50 where I can write another option. $19.99-$2.50= 17.49 I pay no taxes (I have my ways). Who here thinks the government is done printing money?? For me this looks safer...

    I bought RING on Monday...Did a covered call.

    That is correct...What do you do if you have a lot of money on the sidelines?? Buy a CD...Money market fund? Buy QQQ?...I already own some Walmart. Safe (I believe) and boring in an uncertain world...

    I bought RING on Monday...Did a covered call.

    A bunch of gold mining stocks (ETF). I bought it at $19.99 (200 shares), then did a covered call for the $21. July 2020. I got $2.50= $500. minus about a dollar commission. If inflation goes crazy or the government falls apart, it may be a smart move. It even has a yield of 9/10 of...

    Options Trade Not Filled Question

    Was it an "all or none" order? If the 10 didn't match, they couldn't place the trade.

    Walmart's range this year...52 Week Range 96.79 - 128.08 It closed on a down day at $109.58 Macy's range this year...52 Week Range 4.73 - 26.33 It closed at $5.53 J. C. Penny's range this year...52 Week Range 0.3600 - 1.5100 It closed at 38 cents. Why is Walmart priced where it is?? Yeah...

    Short everything

    How many of these people get taken out each year...AIDS, smokers, heart issues, hepatitis, cancer, drugs/alcoholism, diabetes, obesity, age. Yes, they will die from the virus, but their life expectancy was lower anyways. Not to be hardhearted, but the virus will kill them (me), but death was...

    Short everything

    Some facts...If you will accept them. How many people with compromised systems (AIDS, smokers, heart issues, hepatitis, cancer, drugs/alcoholism, diabetes, obesity) will die from this virus...Many. But these are also the people who probably would not live into their 80's. Just saying...Almost...

    What stocks are you buying and holding for long term?

    My thoughts; demographics, dementia, the ageing population, people wishing (if they or their kids have the money) to place them in a nice facility, safe/clean/well run locations, paying a fair dividend (before this crash)...Means they believe they could sustain a dividend (even if it gets...

    What stocks are you buying and holding for long term?

    Boeing could/should be nationalized...Just like the government did with GM/Chrysler in 2009 I think. They will own some of the company for awhile, then release it to the public like they did with GM/Chrysler... Concerning banks...I would look at ZION and WFC. Both have great locations...

    I'm getting whipsawed, and I need advice/opinion

    I have done one major put in my lifetime. Yeah, I will buy back covered calls with puts...But nothing like this one. 1999...Summer, the dot coms were going crazy!! Walked into Morgan Stanley and did a put on QQQ. I KNEW this could not go on forever. But, hence it did...For a few more...

    Covered Call - same broker?

    My two cents...If you are trading at IB or at Robinhood, you may want to open an account at Schwab or Fidelity. They both offer classes online (and without the Coronavirus) at their offices. Since you are wanting to do covered calls, you have the money to buy the stocks. Beware, both Schwab...

    My wife and I bought 100 shares at Fidelity. We bought at $179.?? and optioned the Jan 21 $180. Got $21. something for it ($2,1??.)...A covered call. Best investment I have made this year. Thought it would be called away (and may still be), but a good gain from the call money. Hope it goes...

    10 Beat Down Garbage Stocks w/ Dividends That Might Be Worth A Look

    A few things...Wondering if Trump will nationalize the airlines and Boeing?? Just a thought. What if you bought Verizon...Hung on tight though it all. The pipes, DSL, 4/5 G. Hold onto that dividend (whatever they give) and ride it out?? Maybe not that crazy...

    What stocks are you buying and holding for long term?

    I would NOT go OXY...All your eggs is something scary. Buy an ETF of oil and gas or a mutual fund that has a basket of major players; XOM, BP, OXY. Here is one I have had for 30-40 years...Down big time PEO. Look at that one closely...Sleep well at night.
