Are the longer term rates increasing because lenders are seeking higher rates to protect themselves against inflation risk? Just trying to understand the forces that drive the longer term rates. I am very ignorant on how all this works. ...
When you say that the market will do that for them, what do you mean?...
Oh good to know that it’s capped. Paying double isn’t as scary as paying 100x...

Nah, that wasn’t generators. Downtown had power yesterday. My building is 70 floors and was heated yesterday...no backup generator can handle that load. Some people took their families to the office to get warm since the residential customers were getting the shaft. It was a bad look for the city. ...
Yes you have to sign up for a term to receive a fixed rate. Some are just a few months, some are multiple years. I signed up for a multi year term last year. I’ve got more important shite going on in my life than to be messing with electricity plans all the time. The worry for me is that once you...

Timbergrove here, west of TC jester. We were off since Monday morning and got it back around 2:20pm today. Went off just before 8pm. House is warm again so can’t complain too much....
How are we feeling gang? My basis is 12.50, looks like we may dip below that soon, at which point I may start adding. Is this getting caught up in the negative momentum of the reddit junk? ...
When do we find out the proceeds from the Facebook settlement? I was happy to add to position today at $14. I’ve got a pretty big position now. Good luck longs!...

That didn't take long. I put in a sell order for one (only one!) of my shares at an absurd price. Who knows...

Added some BB (via Vanguard). My basis has crept up to 12.50 as I've been adding the past week. I'm not looking to hit an instant homerun here. Slow and steady is cool....
In the end, if we really believe price targets north of 30, isn't this just a good buying opportunity? I've been adding to my position this morning....

SO how are we feeling. At 370, still holding?!?! I might sell a few shares to get back my investment...
Does the Treasury Dept have the authority to change tax law, or just enforce existing tax law?...
This is how I'm playing it as well. See if I can scratch out some income along the way. If it rockets past my strikes then so be it, good problem to have. A few minutes after open I saw a bid for $1.80 for the $15 strike on 1/22. I got greedy and put in order for $2 and it didn't fill. Darn!...
I saw that earlier those calls were trading at nearly $2 !!...
In 5 minutes of trading, has already exceeded average volume :cheers:...
I saw this late and got in at $8.88/sh. I then sold covered calls at $15/sh at a 6% yield that expire in two weeks. If these get called away I'd be thrilled. Thanks OP....
