why would you sell puts there vs buy calls?
sell put, collect premium. Go long if exercised.

Guys, want your thoughts. I have the chance to get a guaranteed 10% return per year (not a scam) on capital. To do this I would need to borrow lets say $190k. Cost of funds on a 10 year note is 3.62. Would you do it?


Why wouldnt the other person just do what you are doing to get the funds? Another words there is a risk and no guarantee

Sound like it yes, but its most definitely not.

Work related.

Anyone would do that, given the parameters you've set out. Assume there is a catch here though.

Got my selection of 7/17 puts in now. Not big dollars like some of you, but larger than my normal option trade. Dislike being a Do Not Pass bettor.

Speaking of babies....

Just for fun, I put some Jan 2021 calls on PG and JNJ.

Anyone else think there will be a huge baby boom about 40 weeks from the beginning of the shelter-in-place orders?


Bringing this back up to ask again.

The first shelter in place order was CA on 3/19 and as we know the others followed in the next 2-3 weeks.
We are coming up soon on 12 weeks from 3/19.

Is there any play for a possible baby boom, or am I overestimating the impact of this?

Basically end up with a rate arbitrage of 3.55%.

10% * 28% tax rate less 3.62% interest.
Man hard to say, I want to say yes but still not enough info for me... sorry! You say guaranteed but even "contractually guaranteed" there's still risk (thinking worst case or even just bad case).

If you're in 28% tax bracket you probably deduct and can likely deduct your investment interest expense, unless that's gone away? So that might help your net return

The other side to your opportunity is it's most likely an illiquid investment. There's a lot to be said about maintaining liquidity. Just a thought good luck

Thats what I'm struggling with. Cash is king.

Although, the interest paid each month is enough to cover the princpal and interest on the note, so no cash outlay.

As a guy who has been at home with two kids under 3YO, I'm going to assume that all babies born in 40 weeks from lockdown will be first kids in their family.

I think there is a very good chance of a baby boom. Question is, what stocks benefit?

Baby formula manufacturers? Car seat manufacturers?

Call me skeptical, but so much of the crap for babies that companies sell aren't necessary And the stuff from JNJ and PG have cheaper alternatives. I think continued frugality from economic struggle mutes any gains made from just baby products, which are only a subset of what those companies produce.

If I had cash right now I'd be looking at vertical spreads or something like it for end of day 312.70 SPY.

is there a game plan for $313? I read something about a flash to $315 and to ditch all long holdings... so I kind of have been rooting for all my calls against the SPY.

Everyone remember that $313 with flash to $315 is just a number. It happens to be

my number for being gone from all short term trades unless I see a lagger

opportunity. It happens in the blink of an eye, so think through and have your

strategies in place.

I assume this wasn't done through just one covered call. What's your method of choosing the Contract Date and Strike price to ensure you don't get assigned?

Anyone else starting to buy up a little TVIX? Just started buying as we approach the 313 level for SPY. I know i've been playing with fire while wearing gloves soaked in gasoline, but I made $1,300 day trading TVIX last week. Just waiting for a moment again for a quick spike, which I"m guessing is coming as we get closer...

As a guy who has been at home with two kids under 3YO, I'm going to assume that all babies born in 40 weeks from lockdown will be first kids in their family.
And as a guy with 3 kids under 4 (the 3rd kid born days before the shelter in place orders began), I emphatically agree!

They will either be 1st kids or "oops" kids.
