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 options will likely not be exercised until the last day of the option if it is in the money. I only see early options exercised when a dividend capture is in play.

I chose to sell options at much higher strike prices. $410 - 500. June 2024 - Jan 2025.

I did several today. May continue next week.

I always expect that BRK can rally 10% at any time.

Luckily I had 20 Jan 19, 2024 $380 calls, that I sold last year when BRK was closer $320. Last week expired worthless. This Friday would be a different story.

Better to be Lucky than good.

I did have several options trigger last week. Most notably MSFT & Googl in size. Not so lucky on those.
