Seems like he reverted back to being who we thought he was late in the year.

That one hurts me to this day. Our defense was incredible that year. Chris Doleman, Keith Millard, Henry Thomas, etc Went to New Orleans & destroyed the Saints. Next up was a visit to candlestick park where we dismantled Joe Montana/Jerry Rice & Company. And then this. We held the Redskins to 17 points. A couple weeks later in the Super Bowl, they put up 35 points on the Broncos in the 2nd quarter alone.

Sorry about that. Never tried it. Sounds a little bit like shock therapy.

I agree. Although the last one was way back in 1991, at least the Twins gave us a couple World Series wins.

Officially, It's The DFL Party: Democratic-Farmer-Labor A ray of hope is that a slowly increasing percentage of the populace is referring to it as the DUMB FOR LIFE party.

Don't you know it!

Exactly.

Another tranny thread.

You forgot Al Franken & Jesse Ventura. Honorable mention to Phyllis Lorberblatt Kahn, who thought children should be able to vote at age 12. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1989/02/03/Lawmaker-proposes-to-let-12-year-olds-vote/5072602485200/

The reactions are exactly what I expected. Well done Geek Squad!

For me, it works best on mature, low volatility companies. I wait for a day that the stock does well, let's say up 5%. Since option buyers are confident on days like that, they're willing to pay more substantial premiums. I usually sell them far enough out of the money, that barring a huge move up in the share price, the option will expire worthless. But that's just me. If you asked 10 different people that sell covered calls, about the specifics of the strategy they use, you might get 10 different answers. I'm off to bed now, so if you have any follow-up questions, expect a long wait. Regards

I've always had an interest in the stock market. In 1993 I opened a brokerage account in a small local bank. Pretty sure I started with 15K. Five years later, in 1997, I was fed up with the insanely high commissions & the fact that the broker wasn't there half the time when I had called to purchase a stock. Transferred the account to Fidelity & added funds when it was available. Also transferred 3 mutual funds held at Bridgeway, T Rowe price, & Wasatch. By 2001, it had reached 200 K & I thought I owned the world. I won't say how much it's worth now, let's just say that every time I login, I have to pinch myself.

I've known about these types of ETFs for a few years now, but I've never really researched them until recently. All 3 of them juice the returns/yield by selling covered calls. I've been doing this on some of my core holdings for the past 12 years & it definitely improves the returns. If you have an interest in how individuals, & in this case ETF managers, go about doing that, here's a link. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/coveredcall.asp

$50 million to fund condoms in Gaza $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia $32,000 for a transgender comic in Peru $16 million in funding for institutional contractors in gender development offices $600,000 to fund technical assistance for family planning in Latin America This was all fine, but decide to attend the Super Bowl which will cost extra money for security & some people come unglued.

I'm familiar with PLTR but I've never held it. Somewhat similar story for me with OKLO. Bought 300 shares @ $23.73 10-28-24 cost basis $7119.00 The stock had been surging so I also sold 3 December 20, 2024 covered calls with a strike price of $24 The premium was $4.87 per share. Net proceeds $1,458.91 As I had hoped, the stock took a breather & closed below the strike price on the expiration date & my net was $1459 3 days later, on December 23, I sold 3 January 31, 2025 covered calls with a strike price of $27 the premium was $2.11 per share which netted another $630.97 Sounds good right ? Not exactly. Shares continued to surge & were called away at $27 on January 31. I did well, total cost $7119 & net proceeds of $10,190 for a gain of 43% in 3 months. Shares closed at $45.93 today Had I just held them, instead of selling that 2nd covered call, my 300 shares would now be worth $13,788 for a gain of 94% Dumb As Tony Soprano would say, "whadda ya gonna do"

People are so effing delusional. I owned Intel in its glory days. 1993-2000 I didn't get out anywhere near the top, (left a lot on the table) but at least saw that their dynasty was cratering & locked in decent profits. I kept it in a watch list as I do all stocks that I held at one time. This comment on the yahoo message board today is simply priceless. Ron: Trump 25% tax Donald happy Monday Here's a stock which has a 25 year annualized return of -0.74% & this guy is convinced the problems started on November 4, 2024.

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Sure you did sparky.

Did you follow the smart money & short the market ?

The reason many people like him. Far more important things to worry about. https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEZDQSE

Nice I did something similar a couple years ago. Brutally cold and snowing. If memory serves the bill was about $16. Gave the driver $30 She was very appreciative.
