    Buying stock in Coinbase...Do a covered call??

    First, I am not doing this!! I look for value and stability in companies (ones that have been beaten into the ground)...Rise from the ashes. Just wondering if there is hidden value here...What if I were to buy the stock below $45., then do a covered call for about 6 months out at $45.? They...

    Newbie Stock Question

    Back then you had "defined pensions" that was killing GE. It is what killed (drove into bankruptcy) GM and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep. Here is a little background since then... As of 2017, only 16 percent of Fortune 500 companies offered a traditionally defined benefit pension plan to its new hires...

    The last 48 hours of FTX/Alameda, told by an employee

    If this is true, it's a good sign for me (buying Robinhood). I am sure many people were (are) wondering what happened to that 7.6% share of Robinhood that was owned by FTX or Sam. Maybe it has already been sold..."Selling off liquid assets"!!

    Bottom fishing...Amazon

    We'll have to wait another quarter I think...He already owns some Amazon. We'll see if he adds next quarter. From Investors Business Daily... A smaller but notable holding is Amazon (AMZN). Berkshire maintained positions in each of these holdings last quarter.

    Kevin O'Leary on FTX

    Most interesting thing I heard today about FTX. This is from CoinDesk...Pension funds!! Funds with an S...How many pensions were involved?? At the time, O’Leary said that he was receiving an influx of “inbound requests” from sovereign wealth and pension funds interested in helping fix FTX’s...

    Dinner with Surgeons

    Got my 2 jabs and booster...Also got Covid. Also got a flu in November 2019 where I lost my taste. The local county also tested me for Covid antibodies in March 2020...I was positive, before getting Covid!! I think the below is funny, in a warped sort of way... How would you like to be this...

    Kevin O'Leary on FTX

    I think the question is..."What is stable"?? Bitcoin was at $65,000+, it's now at below $17,000. If it drops to $1,000. would you still call it stable? If a virus got to it, would it be stable?? No, I'm not "the dollar is the best thing since sliced bread"...I know the printing will come...

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    I hardly ever do high flyers...It's more IBM and ADM type of stock. Either other people see the value here (the last couple of days) or someone is getting squeezed... We are talking about a $140. trade...Not earth shattering.

    If you could live anywhere

    Pacific Grove (Next to Monterey CA). Great weather...Fog rolls in most evenings. Cost is a bit pricey food and upkeep. A average home runs you 1.5 million. 2.5 hour drive from my home town. I would fly there and have a car ready at the airport or Uber it. Great bike paths, also great...

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    If even half this story is true, I should be OK...One never knows. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev reassured its investors that the company has minimal exposure to the downfall of FTX, a popular cryptocurrency exchange. "It’s business as usual at @RobinhoodApp," he tweeted on Nov. 10. Shareholders...

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    Wait...If it drops to $5. I bail. We are only talking less that $1,000. Just playing with it. I usually go for quality (think Schwab)...This is a flyer.

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    I look at things in a different way. If HOOD is at $8 come March 23, I'll be a happy camper. Write another covered call or sell...I've still won. If it drops, I'll buy it back to live another day... Here is a thread I did on Google a few weeks back...I really don't care if the stock drops...

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    I can always buy back the option if HOOD goes south. Come March 23 (not too long from now), I can reevaluate the trade...

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    Always hindsight in these situations. The trade was in the middle of the meltdown of a major crypto, with another major crypto taking a pass on buying them out!! With FTX (Fried) owning 7.5% of HOOD, it still is anyone's guess where this stock will land. What interest me are those young...

    A trade I was to embarrassed to post here yesterday...HOOD

    So I am looking at Robinhood drop late in the afternoon. I am trying to figure out if we we'll see a soft landing after Crypto Bankman-Gets-Fried. What will happen to HOOD...He has a 7.5 stake in Robinhood?? How and when will those shares get disposed of? Have they mostly been sold? Just a...
