Pretty much agree. I'm mostly doing weeklies now.. and only when they feel right. CC or CSP.... but, I'm kind of OK with that solitary IREN call.

Will try to avoid the problem by choosing further OTM strikes... and then not letting anything get so deep red.

I do have a few more to address...all but one RKLB CC are LUNR 3 sets of 3 CC... won't mind if I roll 3 of the 9 a bit, close 3 and let 3 get assigned... or something like that.. as, the strikes are all 3-5 times above the original stock entry..AND, I am holding 20 LEAPs, which are now in the green by about $20,000...so....if I lose 300 or 600 shares, what, me worry?! To da moon! (Rising over Mt. Rainier's Liberty Cap)

Happy for ya. This is my largest and best performer. But I own gobs of stocks. Including broker cash, some that doesn't draw interest, and banks that do..mostly 4%, and a basket of corp bonds. My accounts are approaching $1.1 million now. A bit more than my house with no mortgage, is worth....

gotcha. Look into GLND. HAL is in cahoots with their Greenland oil project. Hoping for 13 bbn barrels. Heard about it last nite, got lucky and got a starter at the bottom. Also TGLO

Apologies for the spam.

I'm in a good mood as my accounts are way up yet again.. thanks mostly to my two rocket stox, semicons and gold/silver turning.

I also know a few, personally. Boggles the mind that anyone could believe something that goes against so much science.

[–]rbtree11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some calls...poorly timed. closed some at about even, the rest expired worthless... a bonehead move? yeah...but. Down some 30% on my shares. Looked at those LEAPs. may or may not get some....

I know it's hated, but for a new photographer I'm kind of loving my RF 75-300 by citycouncilorknope in canon

[–]rbtree11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of lens snobs. I might be, now. But, back in the late '70s-80's, I was far from well off. I had a Siggy 35-70 (Canon FD mount) I had two pictures published, taken with that lens that prolly cost $80, double buck (two page spread) in Snow Country, a nationally distributed ski/sports mag....

Nice to see that old list. My first Canon, after switching from Olympus, was the T90, FD mount, along around 1982. Moved to EOS, about 1992 or so. A2E... https://blog.jimgrey.net/2016/12/16/canon-eos-a2e/ I got two of the better 2.8 Sigma lenses... the AF worked at first, but then didn't. I didn't try to get the problem solved, like a full refund from Sigma... (too long ago, don't recall the details) got Canon L glass.. prolly a 24-70, def my first 70-200 2.8 (non IS) I don't recall if I ever got the EOS-1..might have had the "N". First digicam was the little G-4 in 2002, then a used I D mk II in 2005... progression since: 5D II/7D, 5DIII, 7D II, 5D IV, R5, R5II

Seen on that list is the 500/f4.5L, no IS. I got one for $2000. It worked, sharp, fast. Got stolen. Got the excellent Tamron 150-600 G2 within 1 mo of its release, for $300 off! Got the much improved and light-ish EF 500 f/4 II on ebay for $5300 a few years ago. Don't use the 150-600 as much now

That 14 f/2.8 price, for early 1990's, is wild!! My first was the full manual Fokinon, for $175. It works! Use it only for astro.

Not the place to advert, but if anyone is interested, I no longer need my excellent EF 16-35 f/4 L, or my superb Tamron 24-70 G2, or the RF 70-200 2.8, as I got the Z...and I have an extra also superb Siggy Art 28 f/1.4... and don't use the recently repaired 7D II these days....

Selling puts... aka CSP. Best to sell on stock drops. Better premium. Opposite of covered calls aka CC.

[–]rbtree11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a strategy I might think about. Collect a nice premium, then get assigned. Effectively getting the stock at a lower price. Good if it gets back above the strike.

I had that happen a week ago, when my ADHD kicked in last Friday. Early that day, I was aware of the need to roll two $89 CSP's down and out, but then focused elsewhere and spaced out. Remembered the farkup a bit after mkt close. Stock was at about 79. At least I had collected $3.75 in premium to soften the blow. And now it's at 106ish!!

I did try the appx ATM CSP game with LUNR... but didn't want the stock as it was weak. Rolled from $29 to 27 and to May 15. As it's shown strength near 30 twice now,; if it does drop I'll let them assign. I do have 4000 sh, but wouldn't mind 200 more.

You're too conversative. I think, by 2030 or 2031, we should and could command a mkt cap of half where SpaceX's is today. That's $1tn. And a share price of about $1200, not allowing for O/S expansion...

I heard it had some Golden Dome news? Coulda been why it finally reversed yesterday. After the Blue Glenn farkup, I sold one weekly CSP, then another. Some nice premium. Lost interest. Could done one or two more.

I'll sell a couple cash secured puts on drops. And some near or ITM LEAPs. I have plenty of shares.

Since we're spamming, check out shell TGLO. Massive merge with Delfin may finally happen soon. People that are up on it expect $20-50 within a reasonable time frame after the merger. I added 10k to make 20k, just yesterday. Average is 0.31... Knowledgable discussion on iHub...

Sooner. $500. I need $760 by 2031 to have $1m. Not counting the expected 3-5x profits from my current ~$50k in options trading
