There is no reason for this to ever go down while COVID is a thing.

You are seeing the new reality for IBIO - it will not drop below 2 for months.

2 dividend stocks to look at:

BDN: $10.98 Brandywine Realty Trust 7.7% dividend (Has office properties in Philly and suburbs, Wash DC and suburbs, and Austin Texas

NJR: $31.50 - New Jersey Resources 4.0% dividend (Provides natural gas to millions in NJ)

You wanna long a commercial office space REIT in a world where a shit ton of businesses are either going to die or scale back on leasing since a lot of work can be done remotely?

Yes, RETAIL REITS are the ones you want to avoid: Kimco, Regency Centers, Federal Realty Trust, CB&L (about to go bankrupt), Simon Properties, and the rest of them.

Office REITS are much better positioned and will suffer much less.

ENB
FTAI
TWO

I've got ENB and TWO. I got ENB accidentally because they bought some other company I had stock in. It seems like it should be great, and I guess it's been okay in the current climate. I think it's running about breakeven for me if you include the dividend, maybe up a few percent a year in the two or three years I've had it.

TWO is not a great story. It's pretty much muddled along for me at breakeven for the past three years or so, with a good dividend but a declining price. And then with covid it tanked really badly. I think I'm down 60 or 70 percent, so I would feel comfortable calling it a disaster. Maybe it's a good buy now, but to be honest I wasn't thrilled with it before the crash.

That's what I was told by an investor. A lot of the huge companies are discovering they can save tons of money by letting employees operate from their homes. It's going to be a different world on the other side of this pandemic. Offices will be empty.

I have the ENB, the FTAI looks intriguing.

I will be selling starting July 1st. A lot of money still has to move. Targets of opportunity I am considering are schwab, Starbucks, Verizon. Kind of a value mindset with the intent to play the wheel.

I am thinking early next week, the quarter end rebalancing plus covid concerns will continue the bloodbath. Should be a good time to sell puts with lower prices and elevated volatility. I intend to implement the wheel strategy on margin going forward.

How far out/in the money and timeline do you implement?

I’ll have to look up wheel strategy.

I had to look up wheel strategy also. I’ve heard of dudes doing it but never heard it called the formal name.

For the bulk of my plays, I think it will vary. Basically shooting for the 80% chance of expiring out of the money, but I would have to be happy to own it at the strike too. In evaluating companies, I like strong balance sheets cash flow. I cannot understand the valuations of these growth companies. They don't make sense.

Then there are some of these stocks where the premiums are so high, it's like finding 1000 bucks just laying in the street. I sold NKLA 30 puts for ten days out while the stock was around 65. I got 120 per contract. I sold FSLY puts thursday 10 percent out of the money and got 85 per contract. For a day and a half of tying up margin balance.

Naked puts are risky if the sell off is huge. Do you carry enough to cover if stocks are placed on you?
