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.

In September 2023, per Jim's rec, I purchased a ladder of DG call options expiring in 1/25.
Strike prices are 120, 140, 160, and 180 and all have done quite well.
I am considering:
1. Closing the options in September 2024 after a year to avoid short term cap gains taxes.
2. Exercising the options in 1/25 and keeping the stock long term.
3. Selling the options now

I know a large part of that depends on what one's thoughts are long term for the stock.
I have a decent amount of the common already which I am comfortable holding.
Overall DG isn't a large % of my portfolio so no concerns about overweighting.

Thoughts?

P.S.: Thanks Jim
