I bought Apple twice many years ago...Did covered calls on them. You guessed it...Both got called away. I also bought BABA last years at $179. something (100 shares). It is China, so I wanted to hedge my investment (not see a Luckin Coffee situation). I optioned the Jan 21 at $180. I got...

I played if it in a different way last year... The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (SMG) Here is their website...http://www.scottsmiraclegro.com I made money, but my option got called away. Wish I had held on. A small amount of their business is weed. But people planting gardens and the weed...

Bought 100 shares of SLV today. I already own 300 shares...Have done options (covered calls) on the the 13s, 14s, and 16s, Jan 21 I think. I haven't looked closely. Silver has sat there for years. I would write covered calls to gain income. They are in my Roth IRA so the call money is tax...

I bought 100 shares of EWC on 6/19/20 at $25.69. I'm up $127. this weekend. I did a covered call on this...At $27. I got $1.55 ($155. for the option)...Jan 21. Also a 2.5% dividend. Nothing to write home about...But steady income for now. Also zdreg nailed it on why to invest there...

Thank you...I've put some of those on my watch list.

Just picked this off the internet...

I'll lay it out there and would like to hear your thoughts. I'll just rattle off a ton of companies as an example; Exxon, Walmart, Chase, Visa, Procter and Gamble, A T & T, Duke Energy, ADM. It seem that when a large (mature) company reduces their dividend, they believe it is not wise to keep...

Yahoo! Finance story of restaurants failing... Yahoo Finance reports.

"So...What do you say Ray"??

Ironchef...It seem to me this strategy is the same thing you would see many pension funds do. Yeah, they will shoot for the moon with some of their money...Which is good and right. But other parts of the fund must be slow and steady income that is above bond level. If the stock drops 10-20...

I still laugh at this story...History WILL repeat itself...

Yeah, not a fan of their food. I enjoy the breakfast burrito and coffee. Besides that, nothing excites me. But a family on a budget...Someone wanting coffee/Coke/Diet Coke on the go (and pick some food) it works. It is NOT fine dining!! I spent time on this Australia McDonald's...

It surely is a mature industry...I get it. Expansion is pretty much done. Again things like; property, locations, distribution, world reach, dividend, good option money, pension funds/mutual funds, even in a recession it should hold value. If a recession hits, I can ride it out on the...

I've been eyeing this stock for a few weeks. Wanted to get in on a dip...But wasn't able to. Last night I put in a price at $184.69...Got in at $187.90. It has a 2.7% dividend. Then did a covered call for the June 21 $210., sold it for $9.85. I sold a CD at Schwab to get into this...Had to...

#12 and #14 is me...Yeah, boring but I feel profitable. I'll put in a limit at a lower price to buy the stock. When I do a covered call I will start at the top of the bid/ask. I'll then drop 5-10 cents every 5-10 minutes. Many times when I see that I am the only option at that price (not...

I just grabbed something off the internet...2016. The main point MLP is different from an ETF. Hope you don't mind, I'll just copy and paste from an April thread...My thoughts, Schwab and Fidelity's WORDS. You are correct in this part. It may be more like airlines or trucking companies will...

I'll say it one more time for those who are new here. USO IS A MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP!! It is not an ETF. Please know the difference...It can be a big headache if it is ever liquidated!! Here is just one thing I found online...There are many if you bother to look. Buyer beware...

Just a couple more things...I feel like a dad telling his kid what to do. If you have the condo you are probably ahead of most people. Even though you don't have the time...Be sure you maintain it well (roof, replace old floors, dry rot, termites, air conditioning/heater). Some of your...

4 ideas...In no special order. Could you buy a condo or townhouse in Canada. It sounds like you don't have time to maintain a house, unless you have a family. Next...Look into DRIPS. Royce Value Trust has them and they can do very well. Reinvest and no capital gains. The last two would be...

I will share a repost from a few days ago. I believe I can (and have) earned more income by doing covered calls, that just a buy and hold on certain stocks. The stock MUST be stable. I have learned from GM and GE this can be a killer to my strategy. Below is some copy and pastes: Pekelo...
