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.

What do you define as long dated?

I dunno, I was thinking Jan 2025 to Jan 2026? There are June ones in the middle of that.
Shorter dated if you're a bit more bullish, longer dated if less so.

FWIW, the time value of any option is almost always at its maximum the first time that the stock price matches the strike price. That's not a bad time to sell it. Either to take a quick profit if that's your desire, or more likely to switch to a different call which is at a higher or lower strike. You can make a nice little profit on the time value and reduce your breakeven.
