No. But I’ve checked out the website for the homes in there now. Looks like a cool spot to retire.

Ha, we've looked at London for retirement. Will probably be going there in March. Wife likes the theatre district.

Retire in England? Why?

 

[mrorange211]

England's one of those places that sound nice, but you wanna leave after 10 days or so.

Retire in England? Why?

To each their own, but I was thinking the same thing.

Expensive, bad weather. I would like to visit though, probably Scotland even more so than England.

I can no longer handle the heat in TN during the summer. We go to Michigan, Canada and New England. Usually take a cruise to Alaska or NE/Canada. So, I love the weather in England.
England, Ireland, NI and Scotland are all nice to visit. When we go to England it takes me about a 1/2 day to understand them. Ireland about a full day, and scotland about 2 days, but worth it to see the Loch Ness Monster. All are beautiful.
FWIW, we are too old to move to England. We talked about it several years ago, but a grandchild changed our feelings.

PLTR contracts just sold.

1/17/2025 $68.0 PUTS

PLTR current quote: $70.02 (-$5.90/-7.77%)

BTC, GTC limit order to buy back the contracts at $0.25 (currently: $2.00)

Just bought to close at $0.25. Now around $0.20, but I’m not going to get greedy with a day left on the put contracts. Underlying shares are up to $71.25 after falling to under $64 last week. The contracts got up to $5.00 and I figured I was going to be assigned shares.

Sold for $1.80/contract on 1/7. Bought today for $0.25. $155.00/contract profit.

Thanks for sharing…I’m still trying to understand the process better and your examples help

I'll be taking a gamble on DJT stock today with inauguration day on Monday. I feel like it's gonna pop 10-15% or better on Monday.

It helps to focus in on one of the 4 possible positions (buy or sell calls or puts) and then if one of the 2 pairs of variables changes it all flip flops. Even after having several dozens of options trades execute, it still gets confusing. I’m always a little anxious before clicking on that button to send off the orders.

2 types of options contracts - an obligation to buy (put) or an obligation to sell (call). Then you either write (sell) the contract or you buy the contract.

Don’t sell a naked call. Your liability is unlimited. Either own shares to surrender (selling a covered call) or use a hedging technique if selling calls.

Buying calls is the easiest position to understand. It’s similar to buying shares, but the value of the options degrades over time. I think that most calls expire worthless.

I sell puts instead of entering limit orders to buy shares. I only sell put contracts on investments that I want to own or don’t mind owning.

I’ve only sold covered calls a couple of times and I would have done better by simply holding on to the underlying shares of stock and selling at a higher price.

I might sell covered calls again if shares that I own seem to be overvalued and I don’t want to hang on to them. But the prices of those options never seem too attractive.
