I don't see how the second part of your statement tracks.

We got to 8% inflation because of energy prices, housing prices, car prices, materials prices...

Naw, i can see where my two sentences might be taken as the second referring the the first and not to the Covid spending bill I replied to. I could have been more clear.

Order to write puts on F filled. May expiry, $12 strike, 25 cent premium. I am totally good owning the stock at $11.75 cost basis.

Just getting back to my office. Dropped in an order to grab FDX at $199 and sell some May puts on F at the $12 strike (adjusted after yesterday's order didnt hit and we tanked again today). BA is starting to look like that drunk bitch at the bar at 3am. I know I will probably regret it, but it could end up being a good ride for a very short amount of time.

Just looked at it, FDX has fallen off a cliff the last few days, wow. Same with UPS.

So that begs the question, why FDX over UPS? UPS's chart looks slightly better to me, but it's pretty close with UPS being more volatile but also more of a steady overall uptrend, if that makes sense.


My own read on buying right now is that I think we have some more down in store for the next week or so at least, so it's better to wait. Or short if you're ballsy.
As always, all predictions wrong or your money back!

Remember we have two Fed speakers starting at 2pm. We can punch this bounce right back down in no time.

Biggest difference is that UPS is a union company and Fedex subs out their work to locals who own "fedex routes".

So, I've got another monthly check to invest and it looks like I've missed the boat on Healthcare and Energy by a couple of months.

Trying to figure out where to put it, but it's a Fed day, so trying to figure out where to put it tomorrow.

True, but I used to invest as soon as I had money in my Fidelity account. Now after I add money to Fidelity I wait for the right opportunity to invest it. That way I've already got the resources allocated when opportunity knocks.

15:00 *(US) FEB CONSUMER CREDIT: $41.8B V $18.1BE
- Revolving credit: +20.7% annual rate
- Non revolving credit: +8.4% annual rate

Inflation making everyone go into debt into a rising rate environment. What could possibly go wrong?

And this friends is why you live debt free (mortgage cars etc not withstanding). Credit card debt is no bueno.

Missed my S&P buy in by .8 points while I was at the gym. That'll teach me to set limits at round numbers. Argh.
