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.

HSY has been well written up here.

For a relatively conservative play, I sold some cash secured puts on HSY for January 2025 at strike price of 170 at option price of $9.64.

So, break even price of around 160 for HSY in January 2025. At that price HSY would trade at a P/E ratio of around 17 based on 2023 earnings which is the lowest ratio since 2018.

Cash proceeds from the put option sale are receiving 5.4% interest in US 3 month treasuries.
