Yes, they're taking advantage and gouging. They did the same thing back in 2008. Truckers can suck my dick!
If it's 300 miles one way, they have the trip back.
That's 300.
Tires are retarded if you can even get them.
And they probably have to pay the driver more than they did the prior year.

After witnessing the drivers coming in and out of my farm I always figured it's just what people did for a living when they were too stupid to hold a real job and hooked on meth. [Reply]
For those who want to dip their toes into options, I strongly recommend looking at the Ford (F) June 2023 calls, one year out. They are very cheap and Ford at $12-$13 is a great value.
Low risk with nice upside.
The June 16, 2023 calls for $20 strike are around $53 a contract.
Buying 10 will cost you $530 and I see a 3-4x upside. [Reply]

I've been eyeing options, trying to figure out if I understand it, but hesitant to jump in.
This is probably an obvious statement, but I want to make sure I understand:
So, basically you are buying call options at a $20 price. So you believe a year from now (or earlier) the price will be above $20. Given the cost of the options, you would make money at any point the stock was above roughly 20.53, correct?
I've held shares of Ford for a long time, I hope you are right, but F hsa never really taken off as I expected. [Reply]

Same here. I've never bought an option play. It seems scary to me for some reason and I know it shouldn't . I'm spending time every Sunday to study and learn so I can start dabbling. [Reply]
