    For me the question is...Do I want to own Coke at $55. in Jan 23?? With the option money, dividend money, float from the option/dividend (earning say 3%), the answer is yes. If it's at say $55. I will still have my 100 shares and can option it again...Still get the dividends. People will say...

    My Warren Buffett trade today Coke...KO

    Yeah, I know; Russia/Ukraine, Coke closing there, McDonald's closing in both countries. This company adapts and always seems to come back. I asked my wife before we bought it (just 100 shares)..."With inflation, will people go back to the movie theaters and buy a Coke"?...She said "no". I...

    Bought SPDR Growth S & P 500...Did a covered call

    I like to set limits on my call options. With the above (once I bought it), I put the option price in at $5.30. In a few minutes I dropped it down to $5.20 and it got filled. I will usually drop down 5/10 cents every few minutes. So much of my profits are from the call money and not the...

    Buying after bad earnings

    You were probably looking at my posts. The thing you need to keep in mind is I am a value INVESTOR. I look for industry leaders (who have an edge; McDonalds, Microsoft, ADM). These are ones who have held market share for 10 plus years. Also there are no signs of them losing market share in...

    Options.,... Argh... no more!!

    Jdesey, I'm on the other side of you. I am the one selling you my options (covered calls). Yeah, you could hit a big one I sell (Apple)...But, you can (and do) lose a lot of the out of the money options that expire worthless. I chug along earning 10-20% many times and am happy with that...

    Why do you like the company?? It makes money...

    Which way? A Gold Timing exercise

    Once gold starts moving, people jump into buy. There becomes a scramble and those who feel left out (missed the boat) jump into silver quickly. That's what I think saw in the late 70's during inflation...
