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.

Thanks Jim for your generosity in teaching with such clarity. I must admit, it’s added a bit more fun (and profits) by “dipping my foot” in the DITM call LEAPS although I have plenty more to learn.

I second that "thanks".

I've been using options for more than a decade and I am amazed at the endless ways of making (or losing) a buck with them. I finally got away from selling cash secured puts in Spring 2020 when the steamroller caught up with me.

DITM calls when BRK is cheap and covered calls when it is expensive have been my only recent uses of options.

Now I need to compare the upside and downside of this new (to me) use of DITM calls for when BRK is not cheap.
