    Order in to sell a put @ 290 to buy back GOOGL that I sold @ 300 after selling a covered call last month. Wish I sold another put at 320! Also trying to sell a put to buy MSFT, which seems a bit oversold and at a recent support point. Lastly, need to clear out some losers in my portfolio to...

    Any love for Western Union? Slowly dying business, with an emphasis on slowly. According to Yahoo Finance they have a P/E of 3.77 and are paying an 11% dividend. I sold a few puts and now am stuck with a few lots. :D

    $543.76. It will be dark times if it gets there, but I'm old enough to have lost a fortune in the dot com bust. That was well deserved. Tech stocks that are getting the shit kicked out of them today actually make money and aren't likely to lose their dominance during the next bear market.

    Artificial Intelligence

    What guarantees continued investment in AI, above all else, is its potential for use in warfare. As long as we don't actually use it for that purpose, then society will benefit from the spillover, just like we do from all large government tech investment booms.

    They're late to the party, same as with AAPL! :D

    $584.76! I should have held on, but didn't have the stones. Got out of both my options yesterday with a small profit on each. If i had held on my GOOGL call would have expired worthless today, and my META put would be more in the green. Frustrating that I tried to buy back the put on Wed...

    Not really looking to own more META, but if someone wants to pay me $8.64/share for the peace of mind of knowing I'll buy them @ $610/share for the next week and a half, I'll play. Placed order last night, executed during the opening hustle. That said, the next technical support point for...

    I started trying to sell some covered calls, as I'm on the fence about the direction of this market, and I like to scalp on both the entry and the exit where I can. So many things are screaming ai bubble. Not looking forward to paying the taxes in case I have to sell the stock, but there are...

    ICE or EV?

    They've been on nationwide backorder because they fail so much. So in warranty, it can take months for the dealership to unbrick your car. Once it's out of warranty, it's on you to replace each time it goes TU, while probably still taking months to get. That ICCU is upwards of $2k before...

    ICE or EV?

    Absolutely not until they figure out their ICCU problem. Stay away.

    Hadn't heard of the site. Looks interesting.

    ICE or EV?

    Why would Tesla absorb anyone? I doubt Elon sees much value in most of the facilities and legacy (union) people. And 10 years? Really???

    Could SpaceX potentially offer cell service directly (competing with T-mobile, Verizon, etc)?

    I've never gathered that Tesla prioritizes customer service/satisfaction. Quite the opposite, actually.

    Toyota moving to Texas

    I'm on work travel up north and hadn't heard the news. I left work late, around midnight, and mapped myself to an open eatery someone at my host site recommended. Google maps came up with the route and then said, "Your route may be impacted by a tsunami warning". :unsure:

    Is the 2nd statement not the result of the 1st statement? How do you truly teach self-sufficiency and foment ambition if you're "sharing resources"?

    The question touches on the paradox of family wealth. Poor parents raise hungry kids who do well and then have kids of their own who are never hungry, and then they or their kids go broke. Often there's a middle class generation too between poor and rich. Can you truly teach someone the value...

    My point was more about the rising difficulty with making it in the world overall vs an individual's particular situation. If anything your parents probably support my point. Even ignoring political immigration barriers, could your parents have gotten as far if they immigrated here today, not...

    The joy of dealing with EDD for unemployment insurance

    I am just shocked you got to speak to an actual live human being. It's too long ago for me to remember the specifics, but when my daughter was born I had a similar clusterfuge of a time getting paid out for parental leave.
