The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

My basic calls and puts are usually sold at least a year out. I am selling time. That would be the $600 Jan 26 calls which I sold in Q4 2024. I sold Jan 2027 230 puts in Q2 2025. I only sell puts if they are below the current BV. Almost always at the lowest strike available? My expectation is that in Jan 27 BV will be flat to higher? No guarantee. But even so I am almost at 80% of current BV and likely 70% of future BV.

Rarely do I sell naked calls. But with the stock at $500+ and possibly stretched over value, I decided to sell some high price calls.
