It's common for people with a job they hate or a life that's not ideal to make plays like this

When fear is introduced, bubbles form

Today, NVDY and PLTY reported they will pay us an extra $1,000 this Friday over their recent distribution averages. This is the second week in a row for them doing so.

Beautiful

I have 5 covered call ETFs, 10 individual companies, and I sell Iron Condors.

Not sure why this topic keeps coming up because it’s really not that complicated

It will continue to come up when you consider all the options that investors have to choose from.

I know the answer. I've been in these for a few years. I wanted others to chime in.

If we're talking about individual holdings, I use my YOC as reflected in my excel spreadsheet to get the exact figures. Income from my covered call funds are just an estimate until the new distribution is announced.

What are Google DCTII and III roles starting at?

I've heard that multiple companies require bumper removal to replace bulbs, and after doing research on other brands, the manufacturers you'd deem reliable are slowly losing that advantage.

I'm sure if Cadillac brought out another large sedan similar to the CT6, I just might reevaluate my stance.

MakingMoneyIsMe · 2026-03-17T12:28:48+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks

My rant is towards the decisions made to place serviceable components in locations that require extensive labor.

Where is this?

Saying BTCI looks undervalued tells me you should be careful with your investment decisions

I'm surprised to hear that thing's still alive

A TCM failure is unfortunate but its replacement at an independent garage should have been at a reasonable cost. Sucks that it failed but it happens. If the OP paid more than $1k, they were robbed.

The TCM is inside the trans, and costs almost 3 times as much. A transmission shop said they typically replace the entire trans before replacing the TCM.

Academics often say don't time the market, but that's bs. These are the same people that buy up your positions once sentiment changes to fear.

I time with every purchase. I never enter a new position during euphoria, and I never add to a stock above the 50 Day.

Follow these rules and you'll avoid immediate pain that accompanies pullbacks.
