Picked up some calls at 95 strike at .31 this morning figuring if the deal closes they will be itm and I'll get a cash out on the merger per OCC adjustment or if we get a decent bump today I'll sell before eod. Depends on volume too (which is why it's beer money).

They aren't in the money at 95. It would be a loss of 31 cents.

Depending on the size of the bump, if there is one, the stock may trade above $95 this Friday.
Saluki Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Trimmed in my retirement account and bought a little FFH and STNG EDIT: added a little BTI in my taxable account after I sold IPI. Edited July 19, 2023 by Saluki
Malmqky Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Fairfax is a 25% position otherwise I’d buy more. Starter in CI and ELV while I research them more

Starter in CI and ELV while I research them more I just checked and FFH is 9% for me so I'm adding as funds become available. Out of my largest holdings (BRK, GOOG, JOE and FFH), it's the only one that still looks attractive to add to at these prices.
rkbabang Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Sold AAPL and bought more FFH. I've now sold all of my AAPL stock that I purchased since 2014 (and then some) and only own some of the shares that I've received from having dividend reinvestment on my account in the last 9 years. This is a little over 150 shares with basically a 0 cost basis (because it is in my IRA Fidelity marks these shares as $0 cost basis). I'm going to hold those forever whether or not I ever invest more in AAPL again. AAPL has been a great investment for me, but the price seems way to rich for me here.

Interesting and thanks for sharing

It's interesting, I've never owned nothing but dividend reinvested shares for any of my positions before in my IRA. It gets the Total Gain percentage wrong. It says "0.00%" rather than "∞%" or just "n/a" or something. 1
Dinar Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Sold August 18th MANU puts with a $21 strike for $1.80.
