<p>No qdogpa…unless Vegas is one of those vacation destinations. :)</p>

282

<p>I’m a little surprised. I thought everybody here had a mercedes (maybe a bm’r) in the driveway and at the least one vacation maybe two vacation homes.</p>

283

<p>Lol…</p>

284

<p>By getting comped at properties in AC and Vegas, i get a huge return on my money ,win or lose. ;)</p>

285

<p>If I were you folks, I’d go long aapl. I just sold my positions which typically means its going up from here.</p>

286

<p>I wouldn’t go to those places if you paid me. ;)</p>

<p>To each his own…</p>

<p>Qdogpa…did you or does your wife work in the financial business?</p>

287

<p>Doct…doct…doct…nah…</p>

<p>Can’t answer that without getting into the witness protection program first. ;)</p>

289

<p>Lol…</p>

<p>Ooooooooookkkkkkkkkk</p>

<p>"BTW, trying to write options on INTC - premiums not too attractive right now. Waiting for a higher stock price to sell them. "</p>

<p>I just sold some May 19 29 covered calls in intc - I’m not picky.</p>

291

<p>Ok…then…I put an order in the may 26 puts…</p>

292

<p>I sold those calls for .14 which is a tiny sum. However, .14*12/28 = 6% return for the year. I’ll gladly take that return.</p>

293

<p>You and BCEagle 91 …seem to look at this in similar ways…</p>

294

<p>I get a feeling the CEO of Chesapeake,Aubrey McClendon,might join Dennis Koslowski making license plates at the big house…</p>

<p>I was once long the company,amde some decent money and sold…i think this stock is ina heap of trouble</p>

295

<p>:)…</p>

296

<p>I’m not certain at how he looks at it. The .14 doesn’t give much downside protection and if intc drops a lot, since I can’t be short naked calls, it is tough to get out of the stock and call positions sometimes. At this stage however, I consider intc a long term hold not a trade.</p>

297

<p>Yeah…</p>

<p>I just have to look at the downside…</p>

<p>Intc is not a long term hold for me…</p>

<p>.14 doesn’t give much protection…</p>

<p>If the stock drops to 26…</p>

<p>What are you going to do?</p>

<p>Sell the 27s for .14?</p>

<p>.</p>

298

<p>If a stock ex div date is today, to get the dividend, do you need to hold the stock until the end of the day?</p>

299

<p>I can never remember that crap…</p>

<p>Edit…you get the dividend if you sell on the ex dividend date.</p>

<p>You don’t need to hold the stock.</p>

<p>Talking to etrade, its anytime today it can be sold and be on record as the holder of the stock on this date. The stock has already dropped to account for the dividend.</p>
