Buy owning a house/townhouse/condo would show stability in many cases. Having it paid for (or mostly paid for), would mean a lot to a woman. Someone with a corporate/government job will usually have the medical/dental/401K that looks attractive...Security. I come from a family of...

Just wondering of anyone is old enough to remember this button...Gerald Ford's "whip inflation now"!! Hey, we really did buy extra toilet paper during the 70's inflation...

I will pretty much do an "at the money" covered call. Example I could buy Intel (INTC) at say $44.70. on Friday. I would buy it (100 shares) and then do a covered call for Jan 23 $45. I would get about $5.60 ($560.) for the option. The dividend is currently 3.25% (which they should hold). I...

If you have room...Buy toilet paper, paper towels, batteries (D,C,A, AA, AAA), a cow, plant a garden, grow fruit and nut trees!! Also I bought something like this...

You would be better off trading ETF options till you get a true grasp of what you're doing. I am an investor...No sin in it. If I have spare cash, many times I will invest in SLV, JO, or RING (gold miners). For oil and drilling you could look at something like PEO (closed end ETF that has...

Continuing on this thread...When the stock hit about $142. I optioned the May 22 $195. I got $11.30 (2 options $2,260.) for the option. I wanted to lock in some profits. As of this writing, CAR is at about $170. Here is the high and low for the day. Still don't know if it will get called...

I bought 100 share of ARKQ last week...Forget the price. I then did a covered call for about 9 months out. Income while I wait...

The answer would be yes, (but I don't know what the future Ford options look like). It is highly unlikely that this option will get called away. You understand in real life you should probably let this option expire out of the money, and wait to write the next option. You probably should be...

If it gets called away, take the $117. and learn what happened. If it's your first time, there are things you need to understand before moving to more complicated trades. Come Friday (if called away) the option doesn't have to be exercised until (I believe) Saturday at noon eastern time...

You need to be willing to let Ford get called away at $18.50. It seems you still may not understand the $650. and having to pay it. You don't pay it...You let your "option get called away" at $18.50. Bye bye...I am sure you were shocked when you saw a negative amount on your option!! I know I...

First, I have investments all over the place...Including gold and silver coins. I have a small investment in RING (gold mining stocks). I have some written covered calls on them...Which should expire out of the money. I am sitting there waiting to do more covered calls on the other stock...

An update on this trade. I had bought 200 share of PHO (a water EFT). I was trying to do a covered call (sell to open) yesterday Sept 22 $56. I was asking $1.80...After dropping my price over the day. I was the only one at $1.80...There were about 41 options bidding at about $1.50. No...

Say an Amazon options has 100 trades per day. While an XYZ trades 5 options per day. Would the larger volume option be 99% automated? What about the hardly traded option? What percent would be auto vs manual? Just wondering if you could provide proof of your answer...Thanks

Good price (52 Week Range 46.30 - 68.49), option money, dividend...Yeah, why would anyone buy this piece of trash??

I have SPY...But it will be call away one of these days (still get the dividend). I'll wait the 30/31 days and then buy another 100 shares...Yes, the option did make a profit. I try and diversify into almost everything I own. If I were to buy SPY today at say $430...Round numbers, I would...

I usually don't buy back my options...I let them ride (expire in the money or out of the money). If they are at the money near close...I will look long and hard to see if I want to buy it back. "Do I really want to own (love) this company"?? I do look for value and industry leaders a...

They are moving out of China...Building a 20 billion dollar plant in Ohio (near Columbus). It will take years and a lot of $$ to establish there. Their earnings came out...Some parts good, some bad (margins). I think they will hold their dividend. Bought the 200 shares for $47.99. I then...

I always look for exceptions to the rules. I was a Realtor...I was great at the paperwork, but a poor salesman...I hated to network. Example...On line 84 in the contract, it should read "and" rather than "is". So here is an example...Can you exercise at any time and at any price during the...

Just my thoughts...No great insight or market studies. Burger King quality (taste) is not as good as Habit Burger. I don't think BK has good tasting coffee (which brings people to the location). Popeyes is growing, but people will try and eat more healthy one of these days. Yeah, Pizza...
