I woke up this morning to a message from Fidelity that 9 of the 320 SP Puts I had sold last week for today have been assigned to me. I was planning on rolling them today. So be aware that if you are selling Puts you can't always roll them....

Most interestingly is that the correction came from one of the more out spoken bears. Most of them are very dishonest, he probably regrets his honesty there. I bet his bear brethren are lambasting him now in a fud forum for his honesty.

At their worst, PHEVs are just a way to cheat EV tax credits and other legal frameworks by people who don't plan to ever plug them in (*cough* many BMW i8 buyers *cough*)

Been there, thanks - our first two were twins, or the "Great Sleep Deprivation Experiment" as we like to refer back to it.
Of course we can laugh about it now...
Too obscure I guess
Too high too as it was right over my head - can you give a clue?
Their biggest virtue is getting rid of the "Oh my gosh, it's a battery" fear.
I typically roll by close the day before expiry to try and minimize this risk.

My 2nd is due later this year. I’m becoming acutely aware of how easy it is (relatively) to raise a single child.
I'll second that GAWD that screams I AM COMPENSATING! for something.

Congrats.My 2nd is due later this year. I’m becoming acutely aware of how easy it is (relatively) to raise a single child.
My 2nd was born earlier this month and I can confirm how (relatively) easy it is to raise a single child. Why do you think I've stopped posting here for the last couple of weeks?
I think it's because the new money in China and other countries are still stuck on conspicuousness, with the grille = power = money thing, and they're dictating design.
You don't have to get your car repainted due to a small paint defect you couldn't even see from 2 ft away. I had to fix my Jags water pump just 9k miles in. There's a difference between the two.
If the model 3 reduced the probability of injury by 30% compared to the next best ICE, they should be pulling other cars recommendation for being unsafe. But instead they pulled Tesla for having small paint chips at delivery. Priorities....
I think you need to buy back the remaining puts that you have ASAP. Not much you can do about the 9 that have been assigned.

First of all, that group of people has one foot in the grave. Their relevancy going forward is waning fast. The times, they are a changin’. If CR wants to remain relevant (and in business) they need to change as well, which means attracting a new demographic of consumers.
Secondly, though many people resist change, when push comes to shove they change...or die.
For the record, age wise I fall in that category but have never used CR as a product information source nor do I know anyone (family, friends) that has or does.
Finally, nobody in their right mind gets ‘incensed’ when their car gets repaired while they are at work (Ranger service), or they get a flat and the tow truck and loaner is on the way before their vehicle comes to a complete stop (future planned Tesla service), or they can book service appointments from the convenience of their lazy-boy on a Sunday afternoon during a football came via their APP etc., etc...
People need to get their heads out of their poopers and realize what’s truly important in life. Quit being so selfish and self-centered, thinking the world revolves around them. Understand that poo happens and it’s not the end of the world.
The whole idea of people going with 5 page check lists and being hyper anal retentive about panel gaps and such when picking up their Teslas is absurdly ridiculous. And yet here we are, holding Tesla to a standard no other OEM has ever been held to in the past or likely the future. Don’t even, I’ve seen plenty of high price cars and lower price cars with worse panel gapping than Teslas. It happens, a lot. If people were half as vigilant about their current cars when they bought them as they are with Teslas, they’d realize it.
Fyi, the price of my 3 is by far (10’s of thousands) the most expensive car I’ve ever purchased and in no way did I go to pick it up with some sort of, ‘I’m paying this much money, it better be perfect’ attitude. I went eyes wide open; new, high tech product, rolling the dice a bit (maybe a lot) here, but this is the right thing to do. I expected and planned for hiccups because the situation called for that possibility. Like, duh!
Anyway, we’re pretty much in agreement on the major points.

OT: The plot of the "Command and Conquer" game series revolves around the appearance of a seemingly alien, crystalline "plant" called tiberium, named after the Tiber river where it's discovered. Its lifecycle involves extracting minerals from organic matter (soil, plants, animals) that it grows on into its crystal structure, then spreading tiny crystals in the wind like spores. This is needless to say an environmental catastrophe. An cultlike organization known as the Brotherhood of Nod notes its potential as a concentrator of valuable minerals, however, and develops a way to harvest and refine the tiberium - making the organization incredibly wealthy. It deliberately spreads the tiberium around the world, then uses the ensuing destabilization as a way to help gain recruits into its paramilitary ranks and establish economic and military strongholds. To combat the spread of Nod, and Tiberium, the Global Defense Initiative is launched, as a unified international military front - but Nod uses this as a further recruiting tool, painting itself as a resistance against fascism and statism (in practice, it's a cult of personality built around its founder, Kain).
I guess the reference was too obscure
Back to our regularly scheduled market discussion!

And it is up 73% in 3 years. There are "lies, damned lies and statistics"
But you're absolutely right about the obscene amount of drama in that timeframe.
I'm one of the "lucky ones" who bought most of his position three years ago, almost to the day...
Of course nowhere near as good as the old-timers like Curt who are sitting on 10x... But still makes these tricky days much more bearable.
