    Just saved $14,000. in taxes (2020)...File that return baby!!

    A bit of some background...My wife and I make about $60-70,000. a year. We could make more...But we enjoy the ACA (Obamacare) tax saving every year. Big times savings, since (2020) I was 64 and my wife was 63...spent a HUGE amount for insurance (think $25-30,000. cost each year). We have many...

    My approach to selling puts.

    I don't think you will be blown out of the water in a major correction. It reminds me of Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway) buying BNSF. He bought it at such a great price...No one saw it coming!! The product will still be used during a major corrections (example commodities). Refine your trading...

    My approach to selling puts.

    I'm not as leveraged like you, but I do something that works similar concerning due diligence/value/balance sheet. I steal from someone else!! The Royce Family of Funds...RMT, RVT. They will do many things that you do. I usually will wait for a correction, then buy individual stocks from...

    Just putting it out there...Too young to trade options??

    An 18 year old with a wad of cash is a dangerous thing!! Add outrageous interest and you have disaster waiting to happen. I agree, they can be good for establishing credit. But, the pitfalls have not been taught in school...Hence, the kids become slaves to these cards...

    Again, like the oil situation...The OP was trying to clear a position on a futures contract over the weekend!!! No one has ever had problems with derivatives over a weekend!! Wait, derivatives almost took down the western world in 2008... Why do we hear about back testing so much?? The...

    Question about lawsuit for broker

    When you walk into Walmart you KNOW the quality you are getting. Buy a pair of jeans and they fall apart in weeks/months!! WOW, I never knew it could happen??!!! Yes you did...You could have gone to a farm supply store, paid double and have a good quality pair that would have lasted much...

    Question about lawsuit for broker

    After going through 14 pages of posts...I'll throw in my 2 cents. You did not have to go with this broker!! You could have gone with a full service broker who "MAY" have made you whole from this trade. But, you chose to go with a discount broker. You get what you paid for. You chose to sign...

    These last few days are a breath of fresh air to me...

    You start with a wrong presupposition and you get a wrong answer...One size does not fit all. Let's go to Edward Jones and have them run an analysis of what I need for retirement!! "The computer readout says you need loaded mutual funds and a couple of annuities"!! I've shared my situation...

    These last few days are a breath of fresh air to me...

    Yes, I am down quite a bit on my stocks...I will grant you that. But, I have about 10-15% of my stocks in covered calls...Quality stocks. So things like; QQQ, CHH, AAPL, EWA, HPQ, MCD, WY, LOW I will be able to buy back cheaper. Wait, then do more covered calls. I am doing less and less...

    Coffee

    Whenever my wife or I have $2-4,000. to invest in our ROTH IRAs or our trust, we would buy 100 shares of JO (coffee) or SLV (silver) futures. We would then to a covered call just out of the money for as long as possible. Most of these get called away. We have a hard time finding places to...

    1987 & Skew debate

    In "87" I could do a covered call on a boring stock. I would then take that money and put into a money market account earning maybe 5-8%. I wasn't too worried about that crash if I recall. If rates rise again, that "might" be a way to generate extra income...

    Covered call...Take something off the table or let it ride??

    If it's ITM just slightly, I will buy it back. If not...Let it get called away. I and the market think it's a quality stock. As I have shared before, I found it with the Royce Family of Companies (RVT, RMT)...Closed end funds. They really pick off gems...RVT hit an all time high yesterday...

    The Reason Why Stock Dividend Is Bad And Meaningless

    There are a few times when the dividend can be a plus. In a Roth IRA, tax free it can work fine for tax purposes. I will also post a thread I wrote back in December. This situation made financial sense and I will pay less tax because of it. You always have to look at the full benefit from the...
