No, he sells kitco and apmex for years. I'm just trying to help him find a way to get better prices. But maybe selling through the big guys is just safest and the cost of dealing with these, liquidity wise. I DO KNOW he was scammed by a buyer on ebay once who sent back a empty package for a full refund. And ebay/paypal and the post office all did jack shit.

JM bullion is widely accepted as a high quality reputable bullion dealer and offers low spreads and purchases at pretty much spot. For buying gold there's at least a few mints known for quality products (canada/australia) that sell at a reasonable cut above spot. I think if the spreads were 4x what these places offer I'd still go with them over ebay or reddit pms. As someone who made a living for over a decade selling currency in online games, you best be prepared to get scammed a lot. I was happy as fuck to take a 25% cut to sell to a reliable buyer. I couldn't imagine living with that sort of bullshit risk selling 2000$ coins. Probably all scammers both sellers and buyers.

What's a good method for quickly comparing options ROR that you guys use? Right now I'm doing everything manually using active trader pro, going through my watchlist, and putting all the bids/strikes into an excel sheet

AAPL up 5% because they are announcing a phone tomorrow. SMH.

Edit: +6.5%

They should alternate announcing a stock split and a new phone every 3 months.

What's wrong with it? Why should pension operators be allowed to invest into stupid enviro funds and siphon off lots of money in high fees and then have the gov foot their pension bill when it collapses? If joe shmoe wants to put their own 401k money in an ESG they'll still be able to. This is applies to fiduciaries, not us.

Earnings season has arrived. Big names include
JPM double beat top and bottom
JNJ double beat top and bottom
C double beat top and beat
DAL double fail top and bottom

The JNJ vaccine news is going to suck the life out of every positive earnings report today.

Vaccine for what?

I don't think anyone is giving a shit about WuFlu anymore.

Only threat is if Biden wins.

JNJ reported a temp halt on late stage trial because someone got sick. They cant do anything until they find out what type of sick they are or if it has anything to do with the vaccine.

It's a bloodbath for airlines and cruises today, I had some puts on CCL that'll probably be assigned at this rate

I closed out my DAL calls early at 2 cents when it dumped. Selling covered calls on these stocks is like free money. You can almost bank on some bad news hitting them every week or two.
