The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

are you still in favor of the jan 2026 call for DG ? I'm looking at the Jan 100 call

I'm agnostic.
I think I mentioned that one just as an example.

Given the sharp sell-off, I imagine only the very low strike ones have implied interest rates that one could live with.
These tie up a lot of money, but remember that once the stock rises (which I personally assume is the case), you can roll them up to a higher strike at a reasonable rate and free up that cash again.
In the same vein, you can buy stock now and switch to calls later when it's cheaper. Assuming you have a spare pile of cash that you don't mind tying up till the stock bounces.
