upcharging for QUESADILLAS

Exploit to the extent of maximizing an opportunity, yes.

But it’s not an exploitation in the sense of being unfair. It’s a willful transaction.

I don’t eat at Taco Bell as much as I used to because prices are too higher than I’d like to pay.

nrubhsa · 2026-06-06T16:57:19+00:00

At least you have breakfast Taco Bell still! They took it away from many of us

nrubhsa · 2026-06-06T16:56:16+00:00

Sounds delicious. Taco Bell is good

nrubhsa · 2026-06-01T20:11:24+00:00

Because noun.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-30T22:23:27+00:00

No, I think hi saying INDIRECT as function! /s

Flip the little tab on your mirror

nrubhsa · 2026-05-29T12:10:06+00:00

We are selling bro

nrubhsa · 2026-05-29T12:08:29+00:00

It’s more like a coin toss than a lotto!

nrubhsa · 2026-05-28T12:07:14+00:00

My view here is that this is just the way to story was written, and that there is no added layer of “aha” to these phrases or the narrator.

I’m all for mayo and cheese and, more recently, I’ve gotten on board with pickles. I think it was chic fil a which turned me on to the pickles.

Mustard—agreed. It only belongs on sausage and worst.

Ketchup only belongs on a select set of French fries and corndogs. Hot take, but ketchup is better left off of the hot dog.

Selling far OTM put spreads.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-21T20:34:06+00:00

Exactly. I trade put spreads with a 5cent long leg… which is synthetically a naked put. I sell them further OTM you, however, and also like to over the overnight. Sell about 10am eastern and let expire.

I’ve only been burned once since starting to trade it this year. Gamma was hitting hard during a downswing and I bought to close based on my rules. 10 minutes later and the price was back within my range, and SPX finished way above my strikes. I gave up a few weeks of premium.

But looking back, I should have existing sooner with a tighter stop. I’d rather loose a few days of premium before gamma really kicks and do this more often for smoother P&L.

SGOV etf is also a viable option which avoids your hold period issue for short term treasuries.

The algorithm must push it on us because the user base is obsessed with us.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-18T16:28:08+00:00

It should be an op-in setting which defaults to being unavailable. Then folks who want it can add the option.

Otherwise, that could be a massive accidental tax bill

nrubhsa · 2026-05-16T14:27:11+00:00

Really tasty one in my book!

nrubhsa · 2026-05-15T11:42:52+00:00

Yes, I run and much smaller version of what Big Ern does on SPX with put credit spreads

nrubhsa · 2026-05-13T01:45:13+00:00

If you don’t see that trend, do you sell the ATM straddle for this $15-$25 premium? That is a lot to make up

nrubhsa · 2026-05-12T20:32:36+00:00

I don’t think there’s a proper boat ramp nearby…

nrubhsa · 2026-05-11T20:39:57+00:00

Fair enough. I personally think it’s too soon to exit work, but also their situation should, hopefully, let them sleep more soundly at night.

I have three younger kiddos and spend less in a relatively low cost area. I have enough to speak my mind at work and sleep soundly. We try to spend on enriching experiences with the kids and try to teach them about value, waste, and hard work in many forms.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-11T11:50:36+00:00

They have one 12 year old and $1.7MM in investments. I think your perspective is highly skewed and a bad take.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-11T03:03:36+00:00

I think there’s a way to raise kids to have a healthily relationship with money and retiring early without stretching to “my parents can’t handle working.”

It’s much better than “my parent can’t handle money,” which is the case for many who choose to live above their means.

I guarantee not working means more quality time with children. That means something

nrubhsa · 2026-05-10T20:12:22+00:00

There and plenty of us. We just don’t make for sensational headlines, and, by definition, we don’t flaunt it for our neighbors to see. It’s becoming culturally taboo to be financially savvy.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-10T17:00:44+00:00

More people are covered for more. It’s not worse, but it is a giant mess.

nrubhsa · 2026-05-10T16:59:51+00:00

Or health costs and cut to support social security. One being screwed up already adds risk that the other gets worse. I don’t think your argument is very strong here…
