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.

The target audience of their covered call strategy is: ...

Not sure anyone cares, but I closed some of the calls I'd written. (all of my Jan $370 contracts; I have two other strike/date combos left)
I made 82% of the maximum possible profit in 44% of the maximum elapsed time, good enough for me.

Notionally, closing a call like this is equivalent to buying stock on a dip: my net BRK position is now [probabilistically] larger.
I don't think the current price is compelling enough to run out and buy more stock other than in this context, but my share count is up the way I track it, assuming all contracts are exercised.
