This is where networking in your home town comes in. I use to be a Realtor. We didn't just sell real estate. People would lean on us for good quality CPAs, attorneys, carpet cleaners, handymen, ect. Depending on where you live, this is how I would do it. I would ask 20-30 business people...

Just some more info about crops... Farmers, agricultural economists and others taking stock of this summer’s growing season say drought conditions and extreme weather have wreaked havoc on many row crops, fruits and vegetables, with the American Farm Bureau Federation suggesting yields could be...

The choices!! I think I'll stick with a Honda Civic...Invest the rest.

I had 1/2 hour sleep last night (insomnia)...Not sharp today. I was around (and in the market) between 1979-1981. I watched my brother go to the land bank and try to refinance at about 18%...He was losing money on his crops!! Look across the board today at who is up/sideways and who is down...

It looks like the market feels that interest rates will rise quickly and stay up through 2023. The Dow is mature companies with controllable debt...Nasdaq, run for the hills trying to refinance loans, without a good balance sheet. Thoughts...

I never short stocks (except QQQ in 2000...Missed it by 6 months). I will look for analyst rating for companies when beginning my search. If it's a constant downgrading, I will just look elsewhere. If I see many upgrades (with the stock dropping), I'll look further into the company. Look at...

I never do weeklies...Too much time consuming for me. Just me...I'm more of an investor for the market in general. I will use CCs (in the right situations). I'd just like to share a situation you may want to consider for income generation (yeah, it's not income), that uses CCs, but in more of...

I've traded for many years. About 25 years ago I had an option expire at the money. I didn't know if it would be called away. Back then each trade cost me about $30. per trade (if you can believe it...Full service brokerage). They chose not to exercise the option. An example the option is...

1) I've been telling people for years that The Apple ear piece causes cancer, (and Apple has know about it). But nobody listens to me...

I go for the dividends...But then I don't pay taxes. My wife and I created assets over the years...House paid for, lot, rental, 3 vehicles. About $700,000. in the market (trust accounts). About 1/3 of our assets are in Roth IRAs (in the market)...Saved over 30 years. We have about $900,000...

I'll just add to this thread rather than start a new one. Most of my portfolio was red today...Not a surprise. But, Seneca Foods was up...About 1/2 of a percent (SENEA). No options on this company... We are so use to fresh fruits and vegetables...We may have to look to those old style...

"I think I mentioned this to you before, but you should wait before you sell the calls, ie not the same day you bought the stock. Especially this stock. I'd just sit on it, wait till it gets to $28, and then sell the leaps. Will it make it to $28 anytime soon? I think there's a good chance it...

Can I still get texts and pictures with texts??

Pretty non teckie person here. I know many of the basics...But time is passing me by. I'm going on 67 and I am average for my age, when it comes to computers/phones. My power drops on my phone quite a bit. It's a cheap prepaid android phone. It has internet, but aside from Google, Google...

I may sound like a nut...But I went to Walmart today. I loaded up on salsa and tomato sauce. Both will expire in 2024...The sauce was from Mexico (they were trying to unload it (a good price).

If you do a search in Google News..."California water" you will see real time what is happening. The a few things will happen this next year that effects all in the US and Canada. Your Big Mac will not have lettuce and tomatoes. Pizza sauce will be very hard to find and costly. Salsa will...

I'm a former California farmer...I'm in the middle of all these California farms. Before I sold my last farm, I leased it out for 3 years (alfalfa). The farm was in a good water district (above ground water and quality pumps). In the contract, there was a provision for the amount of water...

I do own quite a bit of Farmland Partners already. Trying not to keep all my eggs in one basket...

Let's get this straight. Charles Schwab was NOT the fiduciary here. They have not been a fiduciary for about 20 years...Too much liability. The person working for them should have kept their mouth SHUT and referred to the other company. Basically saying "we provide brokerage services, BUT do...

On the upside, I am almost always willing to let them get called away. If I like certain stocks, I will just hold for the long term (no CCs)...Including a recession (examples; BG, ADM, Target, BP). On the downside, I will usually let the option expire, then reevaluate the stock. I'll either...
