Selling a call means you're giving someone the right to buy your shares at a certain price. If you already own the shares (a covered call), then you don't have to buy the shares to deliver them at that certain price. Let's say you sell the rights to buy 100 shares, at a price of $100 per share. You sell these rights for $1 per share. You earn $100 for selling the rights to the shares. For the person who owns the rights to make money, the share price must go past $101 per share. Scenario A: If the price stays at $100 per share, he just paid you for the right to buy your stocks at the market rate. Scenario B: if the shares go up to $101/share, he breaks even; he paid $100 for a $1 discount on 100 shares. Scenario C: If the shares go up to $102/share, he makes money, because he paid $100 for a $200 discount. Scenario D: the stock pirce drops below $100, he loses money because he paid $100 for the right to buy shares at ABOVE the market rate. In all scenarios, you get $100, AND except C and MAYBE B, you keep all your shares. The only scenario you "lose" is C, where you only earn $100 instead of earning $200. If you DON'T own the shares, you have to buy them to hand them over. In this scenario, you lose more money the higher the stock goes. If the price hits $200/share, you're fucked, because you promised to sell it for $100/share.

GOOG? If you had entered at any point during the year except like late Nov until now you made money on class C. That, BRKB and oddly enough VYM are holding my whole port up.

Idk if ur just looking at raw p/c ratio but i think dollar values matter and based on my tracker, NVDA has a way more bullish p/c long term, but tsla is bullish this week, however the tracker doesn't tell me whats been closed already. I can also guarantee NVDA has been heavily bullish for the last week, hence why I dca'd, but i cannot give exact values as it doesn't save history. NVDA: LONG: $600m c - $150m p (0.8) SHORT (1 month): $296m c - $93m p (0.76) TSLA: LONG: $14b c - $4b p (0.78) (insanity) SHORT: $275m c - $76m p (0.79) Regardless both are retardedly bullish so I just don't see any real downside long term.

Both start with C

Or get a 20 million dollar generational wealth package to fuck off Imagine doing a diabolical job at ur average 40k a year email job and getting a 300k check after HR fires you, it makes no fucking sense It’s super slimy, like it perpetuates cause all the C suite guys wanna make sure they get a check when it’s their turn.

This is what gets me: CEO's get to reap when the times are good, and capitalism is claimed to be efficient. And then... These C-suite fucks still keep their job when they suck at it.
