I love the kindle daily, and monthly, deals. The problem is I am accumulating books much faster than I can read them! And I already have several feet of hardback books I have to read!

Charlie, Yes, to me also, BRK is still a buy - at these levels. Before today I had written some 155-strike puts. If BRKB had fallen today I was going to write some more.

Agreed! Why not go to In-N-Out and get a good burger?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all!

Switch to Stella or Becks!!! own BUD now ;) I used to support AmBev a bit when I worked in Brasil (Antarctica, Bohemia & Skol - depending on which was the coldest...) I will immediately switch to Stella in honor of you (I drank it when working in Egypt around the end of the last millenium...) Stranger drinking strange beer! With so many great craft beers I never touch that other stuff anymore. CAMRA!

The stock market can up without any change in other assets. Let’s call the cash in all other assets cash on the sidelines. If I take some of my cash from the sidelines and buy a stock from you, I now have the stock and you have cash on the sidelines. The cash on the sidelines has not changed even if the price of the stock has increased.

The extra value was for MCD! lol

Is the Edward Jones advisor younger than your MIL and good looking? That might explain it. That would make sense, but the advisor is a she in her sixties.

My MIL has an adviser at Edward Jones who she is thrilled with. When she mentions the funds her adviser has her in, heavily loaded, I just have to bite my tongue. My MIL contributes her required IRA distribution at the end of each year to charity, which is wonderful. But she does it for the wrong reason. She thinks giving X dollars reduces the taxes she pays by X dollars, which is her motivation--not giving the government the money. I tried to explain it to her and quickly learned never to talk about anything financial with her. I would like to hear the conversations she has with her "adviser."

OMG! What an evil monster! The world will have access to more energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're all going to die!!!!! Oil is already very cheap You ignore potential environmental externalities This will delay investment into less-invasive energy production, especially solar energy Companies investing in solar energy research will stop if Exxon Mobil continues to explore for oil? Musk is going to throw up his hands and shut down Solarcity, throw a gas engine in the Model S, and convert all his super charger stations to Mobile stations? The price of solar has been reduced massively in the last few years (I think I read somewhere the price has dropped 80% in the last 6 years). If the price keeps coming down at that rate, or even a quarter of that rate, solar will do just fine without stopping XOM from looking for oil. PV is now close to the cost of coal, still more expensive than natural gas. But it probably won't be long before PV is cheaper than gas. Power_Plant_Costs.tiff Price_history_of_PV.tiff

I wrote some 70-strike puts yesterday.

An Irishman found a genie in a bottle who offered him two wishes. "First, I'll have a pint of Guinness," said the Irishman, and when it appeared he took several long drinks from it and was delighted to see that the glass filled itself magically as he drank. What about your second wish?" asked the genie. "Oh well," said the Irishman, "that's easy. I'll have another one of these!"

Now that is something I understand!

I think there are a lot of us. We are lacking a party to represent us. Libertarian. Then I am not adequately describing myself with the terms socially liberal & fiscally conservative. Or perhaps you just need to understand libertarianism better . . . I do much better with equations. If someone could translate all this into a mathematical format I could understand it.

Thanks! I have a hard back copy, but it is nice to also have it in ebook format.

On Friday I wrote some KO 12/09/2015 40.00 P for $0.50 per share. I am trying to determine what a good entry price would be for PM.
