Re <<silver>> ... been selling AG puts at strikes 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 going out between February - April, and advising the Mrs to buy AG outright (she cannot trade options other than bank-done structured products that tend to be not-really-liquid). Should there be a crash of the general market sending AG way low, then buy buy buy calls. Hope to go travelling Sunday or Monday for biz, and should events pan out, watch out at the silver option trading desk. I want silver, lots and lots of silver, and extra collateral would be handy. Re <<ring>> good question, the 'all or nothing' / tout ou rein ring has been napping in my backpack, and just now on finger. Going to a noon wedding registration and celebration lunch today and must be decorative even as am now dressed in shirt without tie, shall be in blazer to go with the khaki pants. IOW, nothing too fancy. Friends shall understand on this nice Friday. The groom is the guy who did bitcoin-all-in back in 2019 November and now has a huge silver wager. Life has been very good to him. I am not going to watch another trade up close and keep watching.
