Even then, they are still somewhat risky. That person could have just put all the money in VOO or QQQ and would have had a wealth-building investment, instead of a casino experience. |

| | thegoodanarchist: The Black-Scholes pricing model for options results in ever-increasing value erosion as the expiry date approaches. I took a class on this stuff, and it was enough to convince me I should just stick to investing in stocks. |

| | WannaBe: <TGA> I sell Covered Calls, and once in a while I will do a Cash Secured Put. Otherwise I take my premiums collected and buy more stocks. =)) Covered Calls have been very, very good to me. (I don't do those vertical/diagonal/calendar spread or Butterfly, Iron Condor/PMCC crap...) |

| | thegoodanarchist: <WB> I used to write covered calls, but after having shares assigned a few times, only to see the shares keep going up, I decided the premiums were not worth the opportunity cost of just owning the stocks. Plus, all of mine are dividend growth stocks, so as long as I keep the shares I get paid every quarter. Cash secured puts are great in principle, but again I would just rather own the stock when I wan to own it. |

 | | technical draw: <tga> I'm not getting the vaccination either. If I get covid I will use it against my enemies. "Excuse me friend. Remember the thousand dollars you owe me? Well, I forgive you. Here, take this handkerchief and wipe away your tears." |

 | | diceman: I don't, especially with summer coming up.
I've never gotten the regular flu shot.
The only time I've ever gotten the flu is when I was an active OTB chess player, during winter tournaments. My sister-in-law had Covid in early January 2021. According to my brother, she was coughing right in his face and he didn't get it. |

| | thegoodanarchist: Since I made radical changes to my diet, I don't get sick anymore. I eat foods that are high in vitamins A, B spectrum, D & E. (Not synthetic supplements!) Plus, I spend time outdoors almost daily, soaking in the sun. Life is good. Thanks be to God! |

| | technical draw: <WannaBe> Did it hurt? Don't lie to me, you know it hurt. Don't be acting all macho-man on me. Say it loud, it hurt and I'm proud! |

| | WannaBe: <TD> It hurt(ed) less than my own (bad) jokes... Felt the jab and then it was over. I don't even know if it was 10cc or 15cc or one gallon. Then I sat and waited 15 minutes (I answered 'No' to all the allergy/allergic reaction questions), but some were sent to the 30 minutes section for observation. Then I left... Stood in line for about 40 minutes, for a 5 minute shot and then waited 15 more minutes. Good thing I brought "Fierce Patriot: William T. Sherman" biography to read. People probably thought I was nuts, someone brought a BOOK!! Imagine that. |

A couple of days ago I went to the store and they were out of my granddaughter's favourite ice-cream.
Oy vey. |

| | WannaBe: Just came across this quote, I have not confirmed if it is by O. Nash, but I will research into it. (I do like the quote) I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.

| | thegoodanarchist: < wtpy: TGA, That comment makes me wonder if Steve has read a Tree Grows in Brooklyn.> I think it's <A Guard coaches in Brooklyn>, is the book he likes. Or was it <A Tree Grows in Phoenix>? No, now I remember! He rose from the ashes, like a Phoenix rising from Arizona. |
