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.

I have discovered a new investment strategy that I've been using for the past six months, and it has proven to be very effective. This approach is grounded in two key concepts. First, it's essential to learn how to determine the intrinsic value of a stock. Once you grasp what a stock should be worth, you can then select the appropriate strike price when selling puts and calls.

In my experience, I have executed approximately 80 trades, with each one yielding a profit. However, I do have an unrealized loss on one trade. Essentially, I sold a put option, but when the stock plummeted, $40 was deducted from my account, and I ended up with a stock valued at only $30. Fortunately, I understand the intrinsic value of this stock, which enables me to sell call options while I wait for its price to recover to its intrinsic value. If the stock were to drop so drastically that no call options were available for me to sell, I could simply hold on until it returns to its intrinsic value.

The concepts behind this strategy are thoroughly detailed in the book "Wealthy and Wise" by David Chenier.
