    Boring buy and option today...JO

    So I've had a buy order in for JO (coffee futures) for about a month...Just to see if I could get it below $50. It's for 100 shares and it's in my Roth IRA. My buy was in for $49.91...It got filled today (most of the market is down). I then did a covered call for the March 22 $53....I got...

    Nothing exciting...I sold two options for the Jan 22 $32. I got .65 ($130.) for the options. I'll wait on the other 300 shares to see what gold mining companies do in the next few weeks. RING was up 3.76% today, at the time of the trade...

    How would you play this gold option...RING

    So often when I have money laying around in a money market fund, I would buy 100-200 shares of RING (gold mining companies). I get a fair dividend and would do covered calls just out of the money for income. Most of the companies are in safer (stable) areas...Think Canada or Australia (not...

    Gilead Sciences (GILD)...Remdesivir and Covid

    My wife and I have held this stock before Covid-19. We liked the mix of products on the table and phase 2 & 3 trials in their pipeline. Also a good dividend. I believe this drug was given to president Trump when he was in the hospital with Covid. No politics here. It hit a yearly high...

    Can you use your losses to lower your capital gain tax?

    I've shared this before...In Oct 2020 we sold a small farm in California (long term capital gains). Had a low basis and was going to get clobbered in taxes in April 2021. I also had short term capital gains (things like options) that generated about $20,000. that year. So come...

    This is what I do with the health care industry. Most of my positions are in two mutual funds...FSPHX and FFHCX. Biotech and health care are the two biggest industries the US has going for them. I haven't even looked at your company. But what is the bet that one of the companies in one of...
