Does it sound like a plan?
Real estate seems a more reliable investment in a long term as it is not affected by economic turmoil as much as stock markets. So you find somewhere in Barcelona apartments for sale since this city is crazily popular with tourists, buy it and rent it out on short term lease. Short term rentals promise decent returns - about 5-7% yields. Hiring a management company helps to avoid problems with finding new tenants. Its service costs 20−25% of the total rental revenue but the expenses will be rewarded with higher occupancy rates. Voila! You are rich (but maybe just after 15 years)

We discussed it before the house was appraised. It was one of the primary reasons we went forward with our refinancing.

Probably not for the money you'd need.

Just 52% of Americans have more savings than credit card debt, according to a new survey released by Bankrate.com.

OK... color me confused. Why? The reason it's cheap is it is about to go off the board and it is out of the money.

What are you after here?

I am after nothing. It was .07. Throwing $70 bucks on 10 contracts was just for giggles.

Have some calls at 22.5 on BAC expiring next week. Do you think the rate hike could work in my favor?

I don't honestly have any idea. I've never traded an option on stocks. I've only traded them in commodity futures, and you damn sure want to be out of them come first notice day. In the futures, they can run guys that have positions that don't want to deliver the product.

I've made money on USO in the past. It is so cheap, even if I lose $70. So what.

Best recently was buying 10.5 calls at .09 and selling at .84.

Nice. I should read up on stock option strategies. I'm sure they are far different than commodity markets.

There are plenty of free video resources out there that will help you learn all about options. So many ways to make money. So many ways to lose money too.

BAC closed at 22.55 today. I bought late last night, out of the money at .26 per contract for 22.5 calls. 20 contracts. The options are at .44 now. If I sold out, that would have been a nice day's work in the money. But I'm waiting and still have 8 days.

Right. So was the CBOT. But that doesn't mean speculation doesn't occur.
