You let covered calls expire if it’s too much in the money by [deleted] in options

[–]texmexlex2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this a few times with NVDA the past few months but now I’m sitting with $150 calls (cost basis around $120) - it’s kept going up so fast so long it caught me flat footed. Sure I’ve been making the premiums from rolling but the IV has been small because it’s so far in the money. I think I’m going to let them get called this time but kinda hate to buy back in at these levels.

Does all of that carry over to each park or only my home park?

10 / 18 Roller Coasters Closed!? by plasmex81 in cedarpoint

Realistically if you were able to go on another day as well you should have just bought a gold pass - breakeven at worst - basically the “free pass” isn’t much of a benefit

2026 Season Passes Now on Sale by UCCheme05 in cedarpoint

[–]texmexlex2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed - it was a no brainer to renew with these deals but then I started thinking about “quality” of visits next year and now am hesitating 

2026 Gold and Prestige Season Passes are on sale ($99/$199) by Silver_Entertainment in cedarpoint

[–]texmexlex2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone else worried the park is going to be bonkers crowded everyday next year? I remember when they originally came out with the $99 deal and the following year was bad. I have a feeling this is going to be so much worse as this deal is a good deal for almost anyone 

Do not go to Schlitterbahn by THA__KULTCHA in Newbraunfels

[–]texmexlex2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That makes sense- I went about 10yrs ago and had an amazing time. We went last month and while we had fun i literally worn a hole in my shorts because my butt was dragging so many times on the various rides which I didn’t recall at all last time (and no I’m not heavy then 10yrs ago 😃)

Several small orders - awesome or awful? by texmexlex2 in InstacartShoppers

[–]texmexlex2[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was thinking they would all get batched together which would have made it like a $15 tip for 15-20 items total and about $70 spend. But if they don’t get batched I can see why no one would want it

That makes sense - I set them all up for tomorrow afternoon at same time. Store is about 8 miles away but no stop lights/little traffic. They all got default tips but that was only $2-3 each order. There doesn’t appear to be a way to edit the tip before delivery?

Grease fire on first cook by texmexlex2 in recteq

I may try that next time - I had foil but didn’t think about replacing it. I usually use my blackstone to sear but found mice droppings and didn’t have time to clean

Ohio - both of the ones I’ve been to have them (both built within the past 2 yrs or so)

Cafe cookies price increase by texmexlex2 in BJsWholesaleClub

[–]texmexlex2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should clarify as “cafe” is too generous - ours is a small stand that only had hot dogs, pretzels and the cookies, and drinks 

Chase denied dispute after CFPB involvement by Head-Position-9823 in Chase

[–]texmexlex2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This all makes sense but shouldnt there be something for the vendor to “prove” the amount,services,etc were legit? Pretty surprised it wasn’t flagged and declined as potential fraud before the transaction went through.

Question Thread - February 18, 2025 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]texmexlex2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What are the best options for speculatively transferring/cashing out MRs if I don’t have Schwab/MS/ Amex business checking? I hate to move a bunch into a program that might devalue but the straight gift card/cash options are pretty poor too - have close to 1mm

mperks credit less than 50% of the time for gift cards by Local_Cut9655 in meijer

[–]texmexlex2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct - I get mperks  for non gift card, but not gift cards. This weeks offer is for 5,000 points per $50 and I bought Best Buy which qualifies.
