[quote]a legitimate non profit here in the greatest country on earth benefits from a donation by me.[/quote] Nothing to do with this internet “challenge” game, but I set up an investment fund to do the very same thing several years ago. Just feels right. :cheers: No offense to him, but remembe...

I’m assuming you sold covered calls. If so, what strike and expiration did you sell? WMT earnings come out pre-market on 5/16 (goes ex-div by probably $.2075 on 5/9). I’ll likely do something with weekly 5/17 options that week. ...

[quote]You can't buy a $100 gift card for $100 can you? Isn't there a mark up of some sort?[/quote] You may be thinking of the reloadable Visa, etc. cards. Those do have a markup. But for actual gift cards, I’ve not noticed any with fees or markups. ...

OK. Thanks for the background. And since you mentioned this in your OP, [quote]The problem is I have very little if any time to properly invest it on my own.

[quote]Not sure what to think at this point. Is it a good time to buy for some now it’s settled? Or will it continue to drop.[/quote] What does the [i]little birdie[/i] think? :lol: Jokes aside, was this set up to be a longer term [b]investment[/b] or a shorter term [b]trade[/b]? The answer ...

[quote]Is this a correction in the market or a start of a recession?[/quote] What recession indicators do you see?...

[quote]What is considered long term? 10 years?[/quote] Good question. IMO, it’s somewhat age and circumstance dependent. But [b]generally speaking[/b], if one cannot (comfortably) stay with a long position for at least 5 years, it would be better to either not take the position or consider it mor...

[quote]Just don’t buy $250k worth of AUPH options. Very hard lesson I’ve learned.[/quote] Not to rub salt in the wound, but unless a person is a multi million dollar professional trader (who stays glued to a Level 2 screen all day), it would probably be unwise to [b]buy[/b] $250K of [b]any[/b] eq...
