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 sold the Jun 540 covered call a couple of months ago. Got sweaty when BRK-B hit 540, didn't want the stock to get called away and get hit with a very large capital gain. Then it dropped and I sold early. Made 75% of the received premium, so I came out ok.

Could not do it in any of my IRA/ROTH accounts because I had already sold all the BRK-B in them.

I think I'll just keep the dang stock in the taxable accounts and let the kids get them at stepped up basis when I check out.

=====================
Somehow, youtube figured I had some interest in buying DITM LEAPs because for the last 2 weeks my feed has been inundated with LEAP video recommendations. I Watched a few of them and NONE of them explained DITM LEAPs the way Jim did.

One of them was titled "How to make $10,000 a month with a $200,000 account." I lol'ed and didn't watch that one.

Ooooooh.....youtube is owned by google. Google must have been listening to my internet activity and made a connection. Every damn thing we type or view is monitored by some company.

And my wife doesn't understand why I refuse to allow a camera or microphone to be connected to any of our computers and put tape over all the laptop cameras.
