[quote]And there’s the discount.[/quote] First half hour is looking more like the closeout sale at Kmart. Can’t seem to find support. ...

Yep. Also the CFO jumped ship. ...

[quote]They do expect inflation and do expect to have to raise interest rates sooner rather than later. [/quote] That’s fine. And it would be worth noting if the statement came from J. Powell. But Yellen has little to do with fiscal policy and nothing to do with monetary policy. ...

[quote]Also, invest in your health. Work out. Eat right. Spend money on experiences, not things[/quote] While I agree with that last part, understand that some of us use cars as part of our life experiences. My free fun time revolves around track time at VIR and Summit Point. But those experience...

[quote]Buy a sports car to go with the truck..[/quote] I kinda did that backwards... and then some. Bought a truck to go with the sports car, then bought a race car so the truck would have something to pull and not feel under appreciated. :lol: When I write my book, The Top 10 Ways to Burn Up ...

[quote]It depends on the location.[/quote] Right. It’s all about location and management. Same with McD’s and other fast/casual restaurants, especially with the shortage in wait staff and cooks these days. I’m not currently long Wingstop, but it has been on my watchlist for awhile. ...

[quote]I hate anyone who thinks like this.[/quote] How do you feel about people and companies who use the bankruptcy laws for financial gain? Not a poke. Simply curious....

Keeping a close eye on TWTR, PBI and FSLY ahead of earnings. I have short puts on all of them. My SLV strangle should expire worthless on Friday. Looking to put another one on for June expiration, but with adjusted strikes. ...

[quote]Generally, I buy things in $5,000 increments, with $5,000 or $10,000 being the norm. [/quote] Not trying to give you a hard time… I’m just curious as to why? Basing purchases or position size on dollar amounts (without regard to the overall portfolio size, or a percentage of the portfolio)...

You’re talking about an investment, not a trading position? For an investment position, I try to keep the total position to no more than 10% of my total account. So when it gains (or other positions lose), I have to factor that in. For trading, I try to keep the total ticker position (long equities ...

[quote]Don't go by age. Go by time horizon (when you're going to be using the funds). If you're 90 and want to leave your portfolio to your grandchildren, invest like you're 40. If you're 50 and want to retire at 55, invest like you're 60.[/quote] This. Time horizon and/or life situat...

[quote]I'm doing the same with PLTR[/quote] I’m also holding a smallish position in PLTR in my investment account. Because it’s a long term hold, I seldom look at it - that makes a person tempted to act. :lol: All I’ve been doing is selling some covered calls and sometimes selling strangles aroun...

[quote]I will say I do not sell calls or options trade in my retirement accounts, this is just in 1 of my taxable brokerage accounts I have.[/quote] Why is that, if you don’t mind me asking?...

[quote]I'm pretty new to investing... I know I can't predict the market but do any of y'all do puts or short selling during this time?[/quote] Stay FAR away from hedging with derivatives and short selling unless you are a VERY experienced trader. For the most part, these strategies are for tra...

Thanks to both of you fellows. Great info. I’ll make use of it. :cheers:...

[quote] I ended up at Total Wireless... use Verizon Towers around $40/month.[/quote] I’ve been on Verizon for many years. Other than the pricing, I don’t have any major complaints. I’ve heard of Total and how they use Verizon towers. What’s been your experience so far? And if you don’t mind me as...

How do they make their money?...

[quote]What is the difference between shorting a stock and selling a call? Don’t both carry the same risk? I know options well enough to sell them naked. My strategy would be to day trade out of money options with stops in place and not carry them overnight.[/quote] In that they both have unlimit...
