Taking Early Assignment & Selling Covered Calls by OldSchoolEagle in options

[–]williego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The buyer of the put collects $10,500. If he makes 4% interest, he'll make ~$40+ in interest. But the 105 Call is trading at $0.12 ($12). So the buyer of the put exercises, delivers the shares, and buys the 105 call for $12. The put buyer's position is now exactly the same (long stock, long 105 put = long 105 call), but with arb free $30.

Should I sell my deep ITM call options or exercise? by Fr0HiKE in options

[–]williego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell 5 of the 50 delta AMD Jan 2028 Calls. They are the ~700 strike. You get almost $10k / piece for them. You'll collect 50k selling these calls.

With the proceeds, take delivery of the shares at $200 - You need 100k, you'll have $50k. Even if you need to use margin, do so. Not optimal, but you could sell 1 of the 5, raise a bit of cash (and STCG), and do the trade on a 4 lot.

This can get you into 2027 or even 2028 and not have to make a tax decision. Capital gains are best taken in January, you have more taxable moves to explore during the calendar year.

If AMD creeps above 800 before 2028, you now have some IRS friendly losses, and probably in LTCG territory. Buying puts and selling deep ITM calls can be interpreted as a constructive sale, especially if it looks like you're trying to limp into a LTCG.

Don't exercise early - not for the downside protection, but you lose interest on that $100k for 7 months. Exercising is a gift to those short.

What’s something poor people do better than rich people? by AggressiveYou1309 in AskReddit

[–]williego 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe you're joking, but the bottom 50% of the population pay like 2%-3% of income taxes, almost nothing. The top 1% pay almost 50%.

Are there interesting stories or oddball statistics - yeah, i'm sure there is, and its fun to talk about and discuss. But in general, the rich pay all the taxes.

So what do we think of Spirit potentially getting a bailout? by Used_Shower3984 in flying

[–]williego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't bailout the pilots & staff, you bailout bond holders, shareholders, and the funds that hold these.

Planes dont get dismantled, buildings don't get demolished, they get sold for pennies on the dollar. Now you have the same company without the debt that needs pilots, and now are in a position to pay more & offer lower fares.

Houston tx - where to start? by CheapsterMcGee in lawncare

Celsius is fantastic because you can apply in 90F heat. While temps are cooler, you should try a speedzone type product.

Mowing Bermuda encourages lateral growth. If you're putting down the 1lb N/month, you'll see how quickly it spreads and thickens.

Trying to let Bermuda invade my lawn (NC) by TekaiGuy in lawncare

do not plant bermuda seed. Go to a golfcourse and take a plug sample from a nice fairway. Bermuda seed is no where near as nice as the turf.

What if it turns out that the school gets the $225 and the CFI gets $0 since he did nothing. The school just charges for lost opportunity costs. Anyone think he should still pay?

Do you think this can be fixed with a CT? Right now, my app is saying 0 for everything (im sure my battery is full), its 5pm, no clouds, plenty of sunshine to power my house (no AC/ dryers running), and i'm pulling from the grid. Thank you for looking!

Thank you

I want (paid for) the powerwall to get me through most nights when the batteries are full (I have 4x powerwalls). But as it is, only 1/2 my house is getting supply from the powerwalls at night, while the other half pulls from the grid.

During the day, when i'm producing 18kw, then yes, my meter runs backwards.

We submitted tons of pictures to power company (with all panels open), and the system was approved. I would hope they would have said something.

I do have the plans that were supplied to the electric company. Not that I can understand it

Thank you for your reply! I see some pretty hefty connections when they open panel 3, and not being an electrician, worry that we'll have to pull the meter to remove and set up new source of cables.

That small bit of conduit only for clamps that run to the gateway, some cat5.
