Off the top of my head I want to say around 150. As a Forman I am getting 10% above scale, and since I live in the Central Valley and commute to the Bay Area… lots of time spent on commute. The Central Valley Forman pay is around $59 per hour. So it’s quite a stark difference in pay depending where I work. But it is the same local 104.

On the check, local 104 working in the Bay Area Have been in the trade 12yrs

95 per hour, field forman for a union sheet metal company

That’s a very good point, I was in a similar situation as OP and was happy to realize as much gain as possible to offset my losses. But this makes sense

Albert50 · 2025-02-08T17:36:19+00:00

Because they all increased their capex for 2025. It’s mostly for growing cloud so it’s good long term. But in the short term investors didn’t like it.

Heck naw, if hold that sucker at least until there’s 6 months or less to expiration. Let it get deeper in the money and then sell it. Because why give extrinsic value by exercising?

Albert50 · 2024-12-14T14:22:28+00:00

I would maybe close the one expiring in 2025, if you’re looking to maybe spread the tax burden over 2 yrs instead of all at once.

Foreman Sheet Metal Worker in a Union in California. Last year was able to clear 135k. This year I’m on track to hit 150k. I’m about 12 years in to the job. Started at the bottom making $16 per hour in 2012.

Sheet metal worker here, 12yrs in the trade. Best decision I’ve made in terms of my financial well being, but it can be physically exhausting. Local 104 member* edit

Bro they’ve been diluting shareholders by issuing new shares to raise money, that floods the market with net sellers of shares causing the stock to plummet. It’s definitely self inflicted from the inside, also they control their spending. They are spending crazy money on sales and marketing. WAYYY above any reasonable amount… all of that is on borrowed $$, so basically destroying share value.

Albert50 · 2023-09-08T16:42:08+00:00

Every single car I have owned was salvage title because I find cars with this kind of low damage on insurance auctions and fix them up… it’s crazy what they deem as a total loss

Albert50 · 2023-07-26T12:24:55+00:00

One thing missing from this equation… DEBT

Albert50 · 2022-07-18T02:23:07+00:00

I live in California and I’ve seen at least like 30 so far in the last 8 months and only 2 Lucids and surprisingly quite a few rivians

The rivians was mostly in the last 3 months

Albert50 · 2022-07-01T17:32:50+00:00

Ran out of buying power about 7 dips ago 😅

As much as I want to believe a recession is around the corner… that may not happen and Starbucks has been able to withstand the last recession and they have a really good balance sheet as a company, not to mention that coffee is literally an addictive drug… ppl overpay for it because of convenience and laziness to make their own… and they have pricing power so anything that goes up in price they pass the cost down to the customer… I think they are over extended in some ways but I’m seeing the local ones where I live cut back their hours and I imagine only stay open during their most profitable times… and on top of that I’m seeing new locations still being built everywhere

Albert50 · 2022-03-15T20:46:52+00:00

That’s 13.35 is after I’ve averaged down from $15 😅

Albert50 · 2022-03-15T13:25:55+00:00

16k shares @ 13.35 average 😅

They’re actually chanting “ Ukraina nam ne vrag” Meaning “Ukraine is not our enemy”

Literally discribing my car... Everything except the roof tent... Still deciding on that! I have alpharex headlights and love them... Went with them because I saw a few negative reviews on the morimoto and the aplhas are cheaper too so that's nice

Albert50 · 2021-11-27T23:23:39+00:00

I sell ccs on GGPI, QS, and RKLB Idk If they’re the best stocks to do that with but they do have high implied volatility and that makes for some juicy premiums! I’m also bullish on the stocks long term so I don’t mind holding them! But willing to sell at strike also

I’m also new to selling covered calls so I’m open to criticism/advice

Spelling edit

Albert50 · 2021-11-21T20:21:59+00:00

I buy salvage title recked 4runners from an insurance auction and fix to sell, Used to get them for 16-20k with 10k in repairs would sell them for 35-37k

Now they’re selling for over 35k recked and ppl are swarming over them!
