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.

I've been waiting for a bit of a pull-back in BRK to sell some covered calls. I decided a couple of days ago that I would sell one contract today anyway in advance of Q3 earnings in case that triggered a significant pullback. I guess this is just a "feel-good" token sell but today I sold a single contract on the 580 Strike Call expiring 19 Mar 2027 for $30.95.

Strike = 1.67 x Q2 book.
Strike + premium = 1.75 x Q2 book.

Obviously these multiples of book will drop when Q3 book is known but these seems like acceptable numbers to me.

If tomorrow looks like a confirmation of the start if a bigger pull-back, I may sell another "token" contract and then wait until after the Q3 report to decide whether to do anything more substantial.

Nice to see at least one position with a 13%+ gain today (14%+ since I opened the position a few hours ago). :-)

P.S. I previously mentioned selling Jan 2028 calls (strike 520) on 15 Sep. I closed that position two weeks later for a small (~16%) profit. (Luck perhaps but I like to convince myself that I had some sort of edge.)
