House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband have purchased millions of dollars in call options in several technology stocks, including Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) and Disney (NYSE:DIS), according to CongressTrading.com, a database that keeps track of lawmaker's stock trades.
In addition, Pelosi and her husband, Paul, who runs Financial Leasing Services, a real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm, also purchased call options in Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM).
The purchases were made between December 17 and December 21.

The Salesforce.com (CRM) and the Google (GOOGL) purchases were the most expensive, according to the database, costing between $500,001 and $1 million. The other acquisitions were between $250,001 and $500,000.

I have 12k @ $15.03


I want to get to 15k - but my buys have not hit - set @ $4.98


I see it dipped to $5.07 today

will see if those hit - if not that's fine

so as of today right now I am down 64.50%

They're considered sold at $0 in the year they become worthless.
Determining worthlessness is a less simple matter than actually disposing of it though. And if it ever recovers, you own it with zero basis.

Makes sense. I think this is where i was last time I looked i to it. Im not a business owner so from what I recall thats why i was thinking a 529 would be best. Provides years of tax free growth and if they dont use it all for schooling then roll it into a roth when they’re adults.

Funding the kids retirement is interesting as it may not be able to be used for another 60 years, but that's a lot of compounded growth to save taxes on as well and can be a great gift for your kids later life.

You can also just have a plain taxable account, no taxes as long as you don't sell. Can be a good way to use up the annual gift limits from the IRS to fund them for your kids. When/if they do sell in their late teens or 20s, their tax brackets should be low enough that ltcg shouldn't kill them too much, or saved until they buy a house or whatever you're trying to fund for them. Unfortunately not much you can do to stop them from raiding it the moment they turn 18 in these types of accounts usually.... If you want that, then you start getting in to trust fund stuff. Not my expertise.

I want to avoid taxable accounts at all cost. They will have years, decades of compounding to work for them. I sell whenever i see fit and sometimes sales are necessary and id imagine that over the course of decades that whats making money now most likely wont be down the road. Additionally a lot of good stocks pay dividends albeit small but still, i want uncle sam out of my kids future wealth as much as possible. Small amounts become enormous amounts when compounded over the course of 30+ years… imagine 60 years.

It's entirely possible one of the automotive majors is setting a requirement, and MVIS is looking to divest the LBS display vertical to fund it. I'd bet money Microsoft has a standing offer that's been dismissed in the past that's come back into consideration.

What if the sale doesn't include a dividend, and they want to plow every penny back into the business? That would drive this confab, I'm thinking, because the shareholders aren't going to be pleased unless the very specific details of the Lidar contract are made public...and that may not be possible.

This is all wild speculation, but it's feasible.

You are probably correct about the contract requirements. I had an opportunity several years ago to become a supplier for GM, simple enough parts to produce but they wanted me to buy twice as many machines as I already had to provide multiple layers of redundancy. They are so wrapped up in the JIT inventory models no allowance is made for missed shipments. That would have been a substantial expense I had to absorb but the kicker was they wanted a 3% cost reduction every year of a 5 year contract, the last 2 years it was a 5% reduction if I recall correctly.

In my field it isn't uncommon to have a long ramp up on a production job before any profits are realized due to tooling costs, material acquisition, etc. After the tooling is paid for their logic is the vendor will find ways to improve on the required process enough to be able to discount the price. Material prices were too volatile at the time, utilities were on the rise, etc., this was at the beginning of Obama's first term, I couldn't bring myself to commit to it so I walked away. I didn't have the capital to meet the initial requirements without big help from a bank, no benefit of investors or share dilution, and was already carrying as much debt as I was comfortable with. In hindsight I should have faked being a solar panel manufacturer, that's where the real money was made at that time.

Using the cackling witch pelosis stocks as an example can someone explain the call option and strike price?

For instance: (DIS) Purchased 50 call options with a strike price of $130 and expiration date of 9/16/22.

Does this mean she purchased 5,000 shares @ $130 per share on or before 9/16/22? So if Dis falls to $130 before 9/16/22 she picks up 5000 shares for $650,000?

She purchased the option to buy 5000 shares at a strike price of $130. If the price fails to reach $130 the options expire worthless. If the price goes above $130 she can exercise her option to purchase shares at the strike price. So if the stock is at $140 a share she can buy then for $130.

The value of options is a lot more complicated than the stock value. A simplification is to say options value changes based on the direction and speed that a stock value changes. Basically if the stock price goes up the value of those call options also goes up, and it'll go up higher and faster if the stock price goes up quickly.

Often people buy options with the intent to sell them before expiration based on these price swings.

Is tax loss selling based on trade date or settlement date?

In most cases, tax law considers the trade date as the date on which a gain or loss is recognized. If you sell a stock at a gain on December 31, you are responsible for any capital gains tax in the current tax year, even though the trade won’t settle until the next year.

is a Stock Sale Reportable Based on Trade Date or Settlement Date?
By: Eric Bank, MBA, MS Finance | Reviewed by: Ryan Cockerham, CISI Capital Markets and Corporate Finance | Updated February 05, 2019
Even in today's fast-paced financial markets, trade settlements aren't instantaneous.

In almost all cases, the trade date controls the tax-reporting year for a stock sale. That is, if you sell stock by the last trading day of this year, you report the sale on this year’s taxes. The exception occurs when you close out a short sale for a loss, in which case the settlement date controls the reportable tax year.

When did she purchase them?
It got down around 140 at the beginning of the month, is back up to 155 now, so it sounds like she bought in the money calls 9-12 months out.

That option has been running between $24-38 the last month or so, currently around $31, so there's not a lot of premium over its intrinsic (spot minus $130) value.
If she bought at 25, she could be betting that DIS would be way over $155 in September, or she could have been betting on a short term move around the holidays hoping to flip it in the 30s or 40s. Anyway, a positive investment in Disney is an investment in media, movies, and theme parks. Maybe she thinks movies and theme parks will take off in 2022 because she has inside information about the demise of COVID restrictions?

That option has been running between $24-38 the last half of 2021, currently around $31, so there's not a lot of premium over its intrinsic (spot minus $130) value.
If she bought at 25, she could be betting that DIS would be way over $155 in September, or she could have been betting on a short term move around the holidays hoping to flip it in the 30s or 40s. Anyway, a positive investment in Disney is an investment in media, movies, and theme parks. Maybe she thinks movies and theme parks will take off in 2022 because she has inside information about the demise of COVID restrictions?

So what you're saying is we all should buy some DIS shares.

If you think NP is a more astute investor than you, and if you think her reasons for buying are still in effect.
She could have bought at 25, sold at 35, and you'd be jumping on her bandwagon after she left.
I really don't know the timelines on these disclosures and haven't looked at this particular one at all.
I assume she doesn't have to give daily reports of what she bought and sold that day so we're looking at her rearview mirror.

Max pain is $2.5 but the highest put is also $2.5.  I figure it will stay between $2.5 and $3 next week. Might even get a push above $3 as the highest call is $5.  I would really love to see the put call ratio start going up.

V6, I got a good chuckle out of this, thanks. We looked at a house in the Idaho Club (gated golf community) that had one of those seven foot tall, 48 inch Thermador fridge/freezers. It was 15 years old, and like we do with every house we've bought, we started pricing out appliance replacement (worse case scenario planning).

That particular appliance was just shy of $13,000, and that was a year ago.  God knows what it would cost you today.

I know you didn't literally mean $1,000, it just struck me as funny. I made a comment about buying a new jet ski once, because they were "much cheaper than a boat". Well, they are, but when my wife asked me what one cost I ballparked four or five thousand dollars. Haven't heard the end of that since.

BTW, for those interested...'ole Nance isn't that smart. Or maybe she is...

Her husband, "Paul Francis Pelosi Sr. is an American businessman who owns and operates Financial Leasing Services, Inc., a San Francisco-based real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm.

It's the perfect symbiosis of evil...she sees all the inside information on economic/gov spending/pending legislation, and feeds it to her investment banker husband, who makes the trades in her name. There's a really good reason she visibly flinched when someone floated a proposal the other day to prevent senators and reps from trading while in office.

I read somewhere it was 45day leeway to report her trades to public.
You can swing a lot of $$ in 45 days so it's waaayyyy old news IMO but can still help some possibly

I mentioned a few pages back about IQST, it was in the 60 cent range. Broke a dollar earlier. Now around 95 cents. Might be a good long term as Nasdaq listing becomes iminent.
