The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I agree with Jim.

I have sold calls for Jan 2025 at:

430
440
460
470
480
490
500
510
520

Small amounts at the lower prices.

I have been doing covered calls for 5+ years on BRK

Rarely exercised and always able to buy back for less than exercised. I assume the same will be true this time for some if they are exercised.

Only the $500+ are in taxable accounts, which when I began this path I assumed was 10% ish above fair value? Fair value IMO has rarely occurred over 25 year span of my owning BRK.

It may be an exciting next 5 months.

I assume it is OK to sell above my view of fair value, but of course that number grow at 8% ish per year.
