Options are weird, my NXT got smashed with APP. I bought the common with NXT($41.80 averaged down) and $42.50 calls APP. Hopefully they won’t be a bag holding till Fall with my IBM calls.

Here is a lesson I have learned over the years- The last few purchases by AJG they have each time not disclosed the terms. Feb. 01, 2024 9:14 AM ET Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (AJG) StockBy:Sinchita Mitra,SA News Editor Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE:AJG) said it has acquired FarmPLUS Insurance Services, for undisclosed terms. FarmPLUS Insurance Services is a retail agency providing agricultural and crop insurance coverages in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. So what I have learned is when M&A buys are accretive they tell you that. they tell you in the first paragraph. They trip over themselves to tell you that. Whene terms are held private they are always paying more out than they are bringing in.
