@basilialukos Yeah, I was regretting not following suit when the stock went down to $47 a month after you sold.
Results are good, but this thing is so volatile, better off selling and picking shares back up in the mid 40s if gas prices mess up a quarter's results.
@basilialukos Trimming it back pretty aggressive in the 60s. I'm tired of it blowing up between every quarter π
Selling calls on another chunk of shares. Probably means its headed to $100 real soon.
@basilialukos That's definitely the better business. At 12x earnings, its probably worth just buying it and wait for the market to sort it out.
Again... On my list to do a deeper dive soon. These are all very high level thoughts. π
@basilialukos Just casually- its on my list to take a deeper dive in the next week or 2. The spin seems pretty interesting, but I expect nobody is going to want the auto business post spin. π Could get real cheap.
@Chadmoneymatter@PlanShaman@MaineLogic Ironically, itβs often cheaper to buy an individual policy through the ACA due to subsidies.
Group plans have lost leverage as the government subsidies the ACA plans.
Yes- itβs a dishonest comparison to say your insurance cost is $190 a month and that someone paying $2,100 a month is making things up. Your total cost is closer to that if you consider your employers portion.
Obviously itβs better when someone else is covering your insurance π
Only a small portion of it is buying power, your employer is covering the cost. Its in their calculation of total compensation for you.
Total cost for a family plan can't be much cheaper than 1,500 a month. Ask your HR department what percent of health insurance they cover.
For example, I pay $434 a month for a family health insurance plan. My employer's policy is to cover 75% of the cost. I pay $434 a month, they pay 1,300 a month. The total cost of my insurance is $1,734 a month.
My insurance isn't magically cheaper because I only have to pay 25% of it.
@MaineLogic@Chadmoneymatter Chad's boss is covering the rest of the increase. Chad could get a 20% raise if his employer didn't have to cover his crazy health insurance premiums.
@basilialukos I've thought about $gff a few times this year, haven't pulled the trigger. Don't really want to chase it though. $bcc is an interesting one too.
@basilialukos Thanks! I've been looking at the sector with all the M&A activity. Seems like trough or close to trough margins. I wish these guys had a little less debt, but makes since given the rollup and share repurchases.
