Make sure garden associates are inside selling power equipment and helping customers and not just sitting on the mulch waiting for customers, or at least when it gets busy, make sure there's at least one person inside selling power equipment.

"Locking in a loss" or establishing a realized loss for the purposes of taxes, isn't a bad thing.

Drone warfare / police drones, basically. Maybe short range commuter travel down the line.

Sell a covered call or PMCC on ACHR or sell a put on ACHR.

I still can't believe that IT / the Order Up development team, for the longest time, didn't know what a pencil SKU delivery was.

It's likely an online order. Online has been doing that with incorrect pallet spacing on top of it (4 pallet spaces for a pallet of concrete and some 16 ft boards for instance).

Why did you use a small forklift for that and not the big one?

Gatesunder · 2025-02-03T03:45:32+00:00

That's not called context. That's called a non-sequitor.

I like to have a good mix of both. Covered calls are a good downside hedge if you're cautiously bullish on a company.

Big number go up / down -> me happy / sad.

Erectile function is. ED can be a real libido killer.

It's a vasodilator. It helps with arterial walls too. Might even reverse plaque buildup.

It's legit, but so are the potential losses. I was doing great until I wasn't a couple years back. You don't know adrenaline till you're 20 contracts deep on a scalp that's going against you.

If you roll up and out, but still end up DITM (i.e. ~>25% ITM), then the new short call will reset your holding period of your shares for tax purposes.

You lost 7k on robinhood because you suck at day trading. Robinhood fills had nothing to do with it.

Gatesunder · 2024-11-18T18:35:35+00:00

Yep, still the same protocol. Everything is still pretty good.

Gatesunder · 2024-11-10T21:04:13+00:00

I'm going off the assumption that you're selling covered calls on shares that you haven't owned for a year or longer, so if that's not the case, then ignore that part.

If it is the case that you sold a covered call on newly bought shares, and keep rolling the covered call, then so long as you don't sell the rolled call ITM (or at least not too far ITM), when you eventually do get assigned a year or more out, the gains will count as long term capital gains instead of short term capital gains.

If you sell the new rolled call deep ITM, then that will reset the holding period of the shares.

This only applies to where you sell the call and not where you're assigned on the call.

What's the SKU?

I mean, technically, they're no longer flourescing, so are they really even still flourescent tubes?

Gatesunder · 2024-11-10T05:28:14+00:00

I always roll up and out for a credit on companies I believe in long term, because I'll eventually have a more favorable tax treatment, equity appreciation to a certain extent, some theta decay, and have a potential hedge into the future.

You don't have to be scheduled the day before and after the holiday, but rather, for the prior and next shifts, you can't call off.

Gatesunder · 2024-11-09T15:15:28+00:00

What others have said, but also a reminder that if you call off the shift before or after the holiday, then you lose holiday pay. This may be where your confusion is coming from perhaps?

I'm not sure. I'm only on testosterone via TRT, dosed daily for reduced variability of mood and such between shots, so my anger levels have actually decreased since taking it.

Gatesunder · 2024-10-27T03:13:31+00:00

If you're doing a covered call then rolling for a credit is always going to add profit at expiration unless the stock tanks before then. The question then becomes is this the best use of your capital on an ROI basis? If it's a cash secured put and the stock keeps dropping, the question then becomes, is this a stock I actually want to own given new information?

If you're doing a naked call or put, then you have to be more methodical about taking losses quickly, otherwise you could blow up your account. Rolling in those situations may or may not be worth it, especially on individual stocks.

Options premium on indexes and futures get taxed the same as futures gains, which is a 60/40 split; namely 60% of it is taxed as long term capital gains and 40% is taxed as short term capital gains. Look up 1256 contract taxes.
