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.

HSY has been well written up here.

For a relatively conservative play, I sold some cash secured puts on HSY for January 2025 at strike price of 170 at option price of $9.64.

So, break even price of around 160 for HSY in January 2025. At that price HSY would trade at a P/E ratio of around 17 based on 2023 earnings which is the lowest ratio since 2018.

Cash proceeds from the put option sale are receiving 5.4% interest in US 3 month treasuries.
