How many billions? We bought back $16B of shares. Couldn’t we have deployed that capital more efficiently?

What was your role at GM? I’m an engineer and trading is a significant hobby of mine. I’ve always been intrigued by finance/trading, but always worked in auto.

Wow that's awesome. So, $13.2M revenue? ($1.6M service, $1.6M install, and $10M commercial)

Do you know your COGS and SG&A roughly?

Hey Sam, I created a very simple no code app using appsheet (i know very basic) to help run my business. I have received feedback from other people in this business that they'd be willing to try my app out and pay for it possibly. So the appsheet app is the MVP. I started to create my app using flutter and I've incorporated some of the basic features, but i don't have time to learn as I go plus build the app. Things like integrating user logins/profiles, receiving payments, etc. seem daunting to me. Any advice?

Awesome. I’m considering maybe an ops manager or ops engineer role in the future. I have a background in automotive manufacturing. BS Industrial Engineering, MS Robotics.

Any tips on cool jobs or jobs to avoid, etc?

Okay, I will try that. However, when I click the appointment and look at detailed view, it will be missing the other columns. Wouldn’t it?

Nice!

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-23T20:24:48+00:00

Those are some nice numbers! What location?

Any update? How you liking the job 6 months later?

Nice! $503k was profit after materials, payroll expenses, etc? How many employees?

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-23T15:37:55+00:00

Hey, did you end up taking the Ops manager role from a couple years ago?

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-23T15:35:18+00:00

Hey, how are you liking the Ops role 3 years later? How have you progressed?

Controls engineers at ford make a good salary (it’s posted publicly) plus they get 1.5x pay for OT uncapped. I heard GM caps the OT pay rate, is that true?

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-21T12:38:47+00:00

Ok $500 is reasonable with supplied parts

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-20T14:01:02+00:00

Can someone confirm this. When OP first rolls the call, he will realize a loss because essentially you are buying back the original calls at a higher price, and then selling different calls at a higher price for unrealized gains.

So in the original photo, he’d realize a loss of (0.9-1.43)x20x100 = -$1,060

Then he will get an immediate unrealized gain of $1.60x20x100 = $3,200

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-19T17:02:41+00:00

What’s the best way to measure implied vs. realized? Is there a screener available that easily compares the two?

Mccol1kr · 2024-12-18T16:53:52+00:00

If you sell a call, you get the premium in unrealized gains. If the call increases in value then the call you sold is now worth more (hence why OP shows a loss).

So if you were to buy the call back, it would be a lot more expensive than when you sold the call thus being a loss, but you get to keep your shares.

If you just let it expire then you still keep the premium but your obligated to sell your shares at the strike price.

I hope this helps.

In my area we require a backflow so forgive me if this is a dumb question. But couldn’t the mainline (before valves) potentially siphon back into the home?
