I was about to pull the trigger on one in inventory, but I can't tell if it has HW4 or not...the chat dude didn't seem to know either way. Does anyone know if there is a way to tell based on the VIN (even if there is, I can't see the VIN when ordering)? Maybe I just need to swing by the local...

Well done sir!

My dad has an old 1976 Mercedes 450SL that just sits in his garage as he's been told it would take about $15k to get running. I looked in to what it might run to make it electric, it was over $100,000. Ouch. I'd have to sell 100 shares.

Got out of the last of my index funds in my IRA this morning and added more TSLA on a 1155 limit order and just triggered. Wish I did it last week, or last month, or last year, but oh well.

I just checked for a March trip to Kauai, but they don't show any Tesla's available for rent.....yet. I'll keep checking. After playing around on the Hertz site, some airports show Model 3's as an option but sold out for that week in March (Denver, LAX). Others don't show the Model 3 as an...

What .... is .... happening?

Thank you. This account is an IRA with Merrill. My other is TDAmeritrade. I'll investigate what those options for closing out are in each one.

So to dip my toe in these waters, I sold my first covered call way OTM and it expired Friday well below the strike. But I still see it in my account, showing a price of $.005. Will this eventually disappear as the call has expired worthless?

Wow, I'm an idiot. Somehow I duplicated an order on Monday and ordered 65 shares in both my IRA and taxable account when I only meant to do the IRA order. The broker called today: "Um, 4chi, what's up?...You need to deposit money in your taxable account, you've never done margin before." Me...

Good luck. It's ok, this is my first time too (really, it is).

No, I was booted because the bouncer only let me in while the price was over 849.50. I fixed my ID with some more shares and now he'll accept it at 841.00.

I got booted today. But I got some more shares today as well. So that should make it easier to get back in.

Very true. I get that the tradeoff off is big limit of the upside on appreciation. I'm trying to make sure I fully understand where it turns from a win to a loss.

I'm trying to make sure I understand how to analyze the strategy of writing covered calls and using the proceeds to buy more shares. Can you all tell me if this analysis looks right and point out the flaws? Stock price at expiration is the variable I am adjusting to see whether this is...

I hear you...just flew past my pie in the sky hopeful goal for account gains for 2021. IT IS JANUARY 8TH.
