If it falls under $100, load up, you will never see this again.

I agree. My pension covers everything. It's basically the same. But it's not in stocks.

Emergency fund. We add to it automatically every month. Pays for a new car every 5 years, thats about it. Nice to know it's there.

1 month T-bills.

I'm buying about 20k more of O at these prices. Buying on the way down. Best dividend stock on The Street.

In this market, I don't want to add anything unless it's at my price. I have been doing weekly CSP's on HD and AAPL. I already own AAPL, and I have CSP open for $147 expiring this Friday. My HD strike is at $297. Good prices to own those two at. And good premiums also. I have a lot of cash, so...

I sell calls on AMD. Thats a great stock. But go out to a 30 Delta or less, or you will leave money on the table.

Why do you believe this? PG is a Dividend King. Ask the people who sold XOM, believing this. They just raised theirs.

Invest in what you know. Fidelity. IBD. But only the weekend version with the IBD 50. I try to have every sector covered with at least two stocks of an industry. Except Materials and Industrials, too cyclical. Tech, I have three. Holdings have to pay a dividend, and raise it yearly. Dividend...

I always have 50 or more shares that I didn't sell a call on, in case it's assigned and keeps going up. I seldom do more than 1 contract. Except on KO or VZ, that just slowly chug along. Their premiums are low, so I'll do 2 or 3 contacts to make it worth my while. SO is also good for a couple...

Kinda get it, but I'll stick to selling calls on the stocks I own. I just do it far enough out, 30-45 days, that they won't get assigned. And if any did, I would just buy it back. Only happened once.

You can always buy the stock back, right?

.30 Delta is a ballpark figure. On my keeper stocks, IBM, MMM, JNJ, KMB and a few others, I go lower. I don't do LEAPS, but are they the same as a Roll? 21 DTE is about average for me also. A book I have recommends 30-45.

1. Around a 30 Delta. No more than 45 days out. Only OTM. 2. I don't pay attention to that. 3. Expire. Or close if it's close to my strike if it's a couple days from expiry. Thats if it's a stock that I keep forever. A "trade" sell, I don't care if it's assigned. 4. No.

Yup. We did it. I already raised them. Doesn't need to cost me money just to be close. They can Facetime.
