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 for this idea, Jim

As an options newbie, but with an inclination to sell puts on companies that I'd be interested in owning anyway, this seems like worth considering.

Here's a basic question - the bid ask spread listed on Schwab is 2.35/6.30 with last trade at 4.30; open interest 180.

Coming from standard equity trading this seems like an enormous spread. Is this typical for a small cap name? Or a function of the relatively small amount of open interest? BY comparison, the spread on June puts of Brk 340 are 14.0 / 14.85. Does it matter much or do the options usually end up trading hands in the middle regardless of the listed bid and ask prices...
