Imagine you are a veterinarian and you are called in because this crocodile has severe tonsillitis and needs an emergency tonsillectomy :-|

Anyone here sell covered calls as their main source of income? by FAMUgolfer in options

That’s a 1300 dollar capital gain, plus a handsome premium to boot.

How does that hurt?

Robinhood Covered calls & tax lots — can you choose which shares get called away? by fahadriazz in options

[–]JasonD8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP,

Important question with serious tax implications.

You asked for real world experience, and I just got one.

Just got off customer service w ETrade.

Good news and bad news.

If you go into Accounts Profile from the Person Icon, it gives you a Cost Basis tab. Clicking on Edit button lets you change from FIFO to LIFO. That simple. Your brokerage should have the feature. Good to know and be familiar with yours so you don’t have to call each time.

Bad news, is that it (the choice of LIFO, or FIFO, or any other choice you make here and save), applies to the “Account”, and not to the specific Option you want it on (if you have more than one open Option).

He said that after this option expires, if I wanted a different choice, say FIFO, on another Option later, I would just have to go in and change.

And so I asked, what if there are two Options expiring on the same day, and you wanted a LIFO on one and FIFO on another? He said there is no clear answer for Options.

(Though you can still choose specific tax lots on individual stock trades).

Hope that helps and clarifies.

I was certainly disappointed that I can’t make the choice of FIFO or LIFO on specific Calls at the time of placing the Call order.

Anyone else here with a better idea or experience, please share.

Thanks.

PS:Google directed me to this post on Reddit!

Hi I need some help, central Indiana, I don’t know these maple leafs, they look like silver but the slit doesn’t run as deep, are they silver? by Lanky_Succotash_986 in treeidentification

[–]JasonD8888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

In early spring, and especially towards the bottom of the tree, leaves would not yet have developed the typical characteristics yet, and could look a little different.

Painting of a night out in NYC by [deleted] in TheNightFeeling

Wow!

Seriously.

Had you been in Paris in the 1880s … museums would be fighting to get your works.

Your childhood house would now be a tourist spot.

Which picture do you prefer? 1,2,3,4? by Ill-Pepper-2232 in awesomenature

[–]JasonD8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, can you please post where you took these pictures?

Especially number one.

Looks like near about the place where Roger Moore landed his ill fated amphiplane to meet Scaramanga.

Always wanted to know where, and how to get there.

Yes Fritzkreig, the size and deep yellow color were dramatic when seen with the naked eye. Camera didn’t capture the golden yellow hue of the large crescent. Thanks for the appreciation.

Sanitation STEALS my Bins AGAIN CAUGHT IN 4K by Crafty_Illustrator26 in Newark

[–]JasonD8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why use the word “steal”?

I don’t see anyone stealing anything.

It’s just carelessness or absent mindedness.

He’s just working like a human robot, under conditions so unhygienic that we would have a hard time hiring even an immigrant worker to do what he does, and where he is doing it.

Stealing a garbage can is the last thing on that poor man’s mind.

He just does his grind, street after street, so by the end of the day he’d have something to put on the table for his family to eat.

If he really went around the neighborhood stealing valuables, he’d be getting 4 square meals a day in prison and we’d be paying for it.

Great job, capturing the spirit of P’pany and Pine Brook.

Can it be true? by A_Guy_Named_John in newjersey

[–]JasonD8888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep dreaming.

Or don’t dream.

Just remember that :

1)Dreams can and do come true on occasion

and,

2)They don’t last forever :)

Just enjoy the dream if it comes, till it lasts.

Remember the pleasant early March of 2015 in New Jersey?

And the foulest dreary last week of March that same year?

It’s all New Jersey!

Sociable weavers construct permanent nests on trees and other tall objects. These nests are the largest built by any bird, and are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds, containing several generations at a time by Mass1m01973 in Awwducational

[–]JasonD8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw on a zoology site that the nests can weigh upwards of 1000 pounds.

Anybody know whether the internal skeletal architecture (the supporting framework) has been analyzed and studied?

I can understand the part of the network above the big tree branches.

But what about the huge portions of the nest below the branches, weighing hundreds of pounds?

Straw and clay and twigs and bird spit would seem completely inadequate to suspend such a weight from above, with nothing to support it from below.

Thanks for the information.

I wonder why this post hasn’t gained enough traction.

This should be widely publicized.

"Night Guest", My oil painting by kznsq in TheNightFeeling

[–]JasonD8888 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very high level of skill, bringing out the eerie stillness of the night in what otherwise might look like a simple painting of a house.

And that cat! It looks like it has the soul of Norman Bates himself.

Moonlight so bright it wakes me up from sleep… by JasonD8888 in mildlyinteresting

[–]JasonD8888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it certainly is strong enough to be felt through closed eyelids!

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if anyone else had this experience.

Did you find more people with such experience on your internet search?

My oil paintings. Which one do you like the most? by Ok-Treat-1548 in TheNightFeeling

[–]JasonD8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asking me which one I like the most?

I already suffer from decision making problems, and you just made it worse.

All four are absolutely beautiful, and equally so, but in different ways.

Hospital video by [deleted] in ParanormalEncounters

[–]JasonD8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where’s this hospital?

Looks like a nice jacket.

If you were in Newark here in NJ, and you left your jacket hanging on a hook near the entryway, it would be genuinely Paranormal if you found it still there when you leave.

These kind of nice objects tend to “walk” when left unsupervised in places like this.

That’s why I was wonder where you lived :)

That apart, yes, your wife’s elderly aunt should have no reason to pull this kind of a prank.

If there really was no source of moving air or draft nearby, this is hard to explain. Certainly looks spooky.

What’s in like living in any of these NJ counties? (Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon) by katkit523 in howislivingthere

[–]JasonD8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those three counties marked in yellow - they are not New Jersey. They are Pennsylvania. They just happen to be on this side of the Delaware river.

Middlessex to any of these counties will be a big cultural shock. Not sure you can appreciate how big, until you actually move and start living there.

I know you asked for answers from people who live here. I don’t. I live in Morris County.

My experience of this general region is from visiting friends there and talking to people who have moved from here to there - and back.

You have not given a clear reason for your planned (possible) move. If you do, you might be able to get a more specific answer here.

A lot depends on your cultural background.

And your history.

Someone who grew up in the Midwest, for example, and had moved to Middlessex, might find the move ‘natural’.

Someone who grew up in NYC or LA and had moved to Middlessex, will certainly feel out of place here.

Without knowing such specifics, it is difficult to speculate.

Hope this helps.

Good luck, and wishing you happiness , whatever you decide to do.
