  1. Shut the Government down on Friday or not? This will likely be the last time in 2025 that Democratic votes in the Senate will be required to pass the CR.
  2. You are not correct on the tax treatment of the covered calls. If you sell a call option and the call expires worthless, the call premium is taxable as a short-term capital gain. It doesn’t reduce your basis in the underlying shares.
  3. Southwest was already more expensive on most routes than their competitors so those checked bags weren’t really free.
  4. Can you have Viasat? Thats my satellite internet provider for my ranch which is in the middle of nowhere. I was considering switching to Starlink this year but that’s not going to happen now.
  5. Fidelity allows you to choose your tax strategy. I have my taxable account set up to always sell the highest cost basis shares first. Fidelity also has options to sell the longest held shares first, etc.
  6. NO MORE JERKY BEEF!
  7. Based on a google search, 28% of the S&P 500’s revenues are from outside the US.
  8. So 4-6 weeks with the Astros training staff, we’ll be lucky if Walker is taking ABs in August.
  9. Who the fuck cares? The punishment is having to listen to the censure resolution on the House floor. He didn’t have to walk naked through the streets of Kings Landing. Let the Ds in the close districts represent their districts. Are we better off without Manchin and Tester in the Senate?
  10. Now, Alito cares about jurisdiction- that’s extremely rich from that asshole.
  11. Maybe the farmers in the Midwest can shift their soybean fields to Avocado orchards.
  12. How much is in the wreath fund? Surly should buy Big Bend.
  13. Trump doesn’t have a strategy. He has one idea that he thinks is the greatest thing ever - Tariffs. Additionally, he has groups that he wants to punish and lastly he has the owners that he has to repay (eg, Putin, Elon, etc). Dont try and overthink this.
  14. I had no idea who he was or any political leanings. I just thought he was some stand-in for that stupid Bud Light commercial. My problem with the episode is that he has no range as a comedian. He has exactly the same delivery and material in every sketch.
  15. The S&P 500 is now negative since Election Day.
  16. Holy Idiocracy, Batman - The Cletus’s are multiplying.
  17. It’s like watching Memento!
  18. Completely agree - This was terrible.
  19. I miss Benford Williams.
  20. So did Quinn look good today or what?
  21. Here’s the counterpoint: 1. Diaz doesn’t regain his fly ball stroke, doesn’t hit for power and is a league average catcher. 2. Walker slightly regresses. 3. Guillorme has only played more than 100 games in 1 season. With him playing against right-handed starters, he wilts later in the season and doesn’t hit for league average against righties. 4. Peña doesn’t improve on offense and throws 20 balls into the dugout behind 1b. 5. Instead of HRs, Paredes mashes a ton of hard hit singles into the LF wall. 6. Altuve regresses to his early years with respect to plate discipline and hits for 300 with no power. 7. Chas sucks and becomes unplayable. Meyers starts for over 100 games. Melton shows he’s not the answer in AAA. 8. Yordan plays less than 100 games due to injury. 9. Framber wilts under the pressure of pitching in a contract year and we get no relief from any of the pitchers rehabbing from TJ. 10. We get inconsistent Hader. I really think the outcome is in between our 2 posts and the Astros win 90 games and the West.
  22. I’ve never done the tour because Turkish Air’s business class lounge in Istanbul is amazing - really good food and self-serve liquor.
  23. Exactly - The property tax savings when I lived in Colorado were significant.
