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.

" Lots of ways to handle it, depending on what else you own, how much you'd like to avoid their being exercised, and how long you are prepared to wait for it to work out.

This is 25-year-old common in a taxable account, getting called isn't an option. There are 13 trading days left until Dec 19th. IF brkn rises more than 1 percent in that short time period, I'll wish I bought them back now. UNC or down is a favorite over up 1 percent plus so I haven't bought them back, yet. I sold them for 26.85 but that's not relevant to my thinking, 505 on the 19th would be nice.
