To me, IBM's a great HODL stock for the following reasons:
-near 5% dividend, almost like a high-yield bond;
-part of the A.I. trend;
-quantum computing;
-machine learning;
-most investors seem to think IBM is boring and is not going to do anything;

I've joined the Dark Side. Not counting sporadically using TI's SPOS (sell puts to own strategy), just bought the AAL Jan23/22.00 call. Also bought the NLOK call awhile back.

The dark side is buying 2023 UUP calls

Very slow but once the dollar rips then it’s off to the races

5.20 for the AAL call. I'm happily quite terrible at getting the best price when it comes to options, lol.

@Young Yoda: Even though my native currency is the loonie, >80% of my portfolio is in USD-denominated assets, including a lot of USD cash and TLT, so I am also awaiting the big USD rally. Similar to your UUP calls, I would think.AstuteShift wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 2:43 pm [The dark side is buying 2023 UUP calls![]()

@Budge: if/when USD rips up, TLT may temporarily go down a bit, but I would guess a big rally will follow.

Re: Fills
OK, this is not an official fill, just an idea I had based on SOL's HA buy
on 4-20-21 I bought HA Calls 4-14-22 $27 for $3.90
Logic: Hawaiian air and most travel related stocks are down to $23.62 today (lower than our first buy). And everyone I've talked to with Covid Shut-in syndrome who mentioned Europe and Italy then mention those are off the table for now. People then mentioned they'd like to go to Hawaii. So I doubled down (I already bought the first 1/3 lot at $24.55) and bet that HA will head to $27 in 1 year. I think I'll use the profits to go to Morocco for new years. /endirony
