Quite an upgrade from the original Turbos

Love the swivel and solid vac line

Clean like a rock star

Thanks Mikey!

It's nice but man I love your guitars! That purple is badass!!!

 

[FB7777]

Thanks! Got it the summer before Maria and I got married... Helps me to remember our anniversary

The Black Dean guitar hangs on the wall, autographed by the members of my favorite band Kings X

Going to New York tomorrow with my kid to see Iron Maiden , when we get back we'll give the new Turbo a weekend workout

love the sculpted carpet.




and I now own Apple.

Thanks, got 1200 sq ft of it running through most of the second floor. 8 years old and still looks mint

Congrats on Apple, hopefully you snagged it during the recent pullback in the 90s

There's a dividend raise coming in April and most likely a $50 Billion buyback announcement during earnings , it's losing its sizzle but it'll feed you a lot better than certificates of deposit

 

[Mikey P]

indubitably.

Yea, I wanted some of that apple... It shot back up too quick. Went from 100 to 110 in a few weeks.

On a good note...

SQ(square) up a buck thirty today. Up a good 45-50% in the month.

I remember a conversation with a tech guy that worked at dell in Austin. 2006. He tells me I should buy Apple.
We were building the Dell kids hospital near downtown. I said " guess I should invest in Dell huh? ". He look at me very calmly and said. "No you should invest in Apple. Seriously. "
24 year old me was a doofus.

My oops moment was Home Depot almost 20 years ago. My cousin was a store manager for Grossmans Lumber here on the east coast and told me he was gonna be out of a job in a couple years because of some Midwest box warehouse company called Home Depot . That would have been a 50 bagger

IMO Apple is no longer a growth story , it's a value stock

As the raise the dividend , buyback shares and as iPhone sales flatten and actually contract I think it will trade relatively sideways

I'm long my position but sell covered call options against it at the $110 strike

My friend worked in Silicoln Valley marketing some software. He was approached by a start up company for investment. He said no.
Google ended up doing pretty good.

 

[FB7777]

Yeah that might have worked out well for him...LOL

Fred, you should post more about this stuff. Every time you do, you are helping newbies like me understand more. I've gotten interested the last few years and it a blast to learn about(it's not easy).

Options are the next goal to learn about, I'm learning you can find out a lot about a stock just based on it's options.

Thanks...

I learned about writing ( selling ) call options when I was a member of the Motley Fool subscription service.

Option contract trading involves getting approval from your brokerage firm

Bluecollarinvestor.com has quite a few beginner videos explaining in simple terms how call and put option trading works and enhances your investment returns

Option trading can be very risky , especially when you are BUYING calls ( betting a stock will go up) or BUYING puts ( betting a stock will go down)

I use a conservative approach. I SELL covered calls against my holdings , these types of option contracts pay you a premium . You are betting that your stock position does not exceed a certain price on a set future expiration date.

There are,several websites where you can " paper trade' options before you go live. It's crucial to know what you're doing, always remember that there are two sides to every trade and you want to be on the correct one

In other words... Take the Wall Street Bull by the horns!
