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.

I know you have far more experience with options, nevertheless a tiny comment: I made bad experiences with BRK puts that far out the money - - - but very good experiences with puts only 2-4% OTM like the (partly also June) 480/490/495 ones bought today, because during the last months such a spike always was followed by a quick counter movement (and if expiration is several months away one has a margin of safety if it takes longer).

If the stock moves lower relatively soon, my options will do much better than your options on a percentage basis. I am not planning for them to have value at expiry - only to change in price by a larger percentage if I am right in the short run.
