Buffet is a shrewd investor. He'was against using weapons of mass destructions aka options yet he used options to buy coca cola shares.

Buffet is a shrewd investor. He'was against using weapons of mass destructions aka options yet he used options to buy coca cola shares.

I was actually gonna pose that question to the room here: how many folks use options in order to buy shares of companies that you plan to hold long term?

Like you said I believe Buffet and Phil Town both use options strategies to build positions to hold (I guess they'd be selling puts [?] so that they get paid the premium, and if the price goes down and someone wants to sell to cut their losses, Buffet/Town would then be more than happy to buy the company they wanted to own anyway.. and they get the shares at a lower price + keep the premium).

Its the best way. Its like you get a coupon (premium) on the shares you buy.

You sell a cash secured put for $AAPL @ 160 (Because you are willing to buy 100 shares at that price)
If $AAPL doesnt drop to $160, you are off the hook to buy them, but you keep the premium
Do that every week until the stock hits $160, then you will have to buy the 100 shares.

That's interesting that Warren does this because the first time I heard someone talk about this strategy was Wall Street Trapper. Use the money from your options profits and take those profits to buy more stocks in your long term portfolio....

How the NFT market rose and crashed, and who’s left holding the bill

A couple of years ago, NFTs were the Next Big Thing. They were everywhere, with celebrity endorsements, big media companies jumping on the bandwagon and ceaseless promotion from nearly everyone in the crypto sphere. They were “valued” as one-of-a-kind tokens to exclusive communities and riches...

Caroline Ellison Was Supposed to Shock the SBF Trial. Instead, the Defense Team Has.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s business partner and on-again, off-again girlfriend surprised and awed in her testimony last week. But perhaps most surprising was how her days in court exposed the defense.

Because of stupid rules here in EU, I can’t buy US ETF’s in the name of protection. An US ETF can only be bought if a KIID is available.
The KIID has to be translated to were the Eu customer resides. And this will not happen ofcourse.
So i short puts and get VOO delivered. I haven’t done this for along time since VOo has become very expensive.

Is this held at the same spot every year or do they move around location-wise?

The last 2 years it’s been in Maryland. Mainly PG county. The founder Cedric Nash mainly lives in MD.

No knock to EYL but it’s all financial folks that work in the industry and all black.

For sure. I've heard a few folks mention oil going up even before things got hot. This def ads to the hypothesis.

TOP STOCKS TO WATCH FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 23,2023

This video covers earnings this week, SPY, Tesla, Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Boeing.

DESCRIPTION:

I have previously produced videos discussing a very simple two-fund portfolio, which just contains global stocks and bonds. In this video, I explore the concept of a three-fund portfolio and explain why adding a touch more complexity to your portfolio could prove beneficial. Additionally, I take a look at the types of investments that could potentially serve as an effective third fund, and demonstrate their impact on risk and return.

00:00 Introduction
00:29 Why Two Funds?
02:01 Why Add Three?

I think the most interesting thing to me is $AMD is going to make ARM cpus. They already make other ARM chips but cpus... They have a really tight supply of silicon from $TSM so why would they even produce these. Interesting. So many questions.

• I guess $MS is gonna really get behind ARM for Windows? Like, seriously this time.
• Any impact to server/data center? Article mentions PCs, but...?
• Does $ARM see an opportunity to raise licensing fees? C.R.E.A.M. get the money.
• Lots of folks want the death of x86, but how long will be before for the software vendors really optimize code for ARM (especially if ARM takes a minute to make inroads). MacOS is kinda the exception (and example), but $AAPL vertically integrated the whole process.

Ultimately, ARM vs x86 vs RISC-V... the ISA (instruction set architecture) won't matter. It's about the compute

Any thoughts on pre tax vs post tax 401k? Better to pay taxes now or later?

Any thoughts on pre tax vs post tax 401k? Better to pay taxes now or later?

IMO, both. A 401k with company match should always be taken advantage of. Get yourself a ROTH IRA to do tax free investing.

Yup because I believe all your money that grows in a Roth is all tax free...

My goal this year is to max out my Roth every year...

Peter Thiel Roth IRA: This strategy is all about investing in high-growth companies through a tax-advantaged account. In 1999, Thiel scooped up 1.7 million PayPal shares for $1,700. By 2002, Thiel's shares were worth $55.5 million.
