    Going to be involved more in calls and puts in the coming year, and checking out this and other threads. For those guys/gals successful with options, what resources do you guys use for taxes or offsetting gains?

    Any books, websites, or people you recommend?

    I've owned Yum Brands stock for a while now. Fast food has done really well. The downturn in the market really didn't affect any of the major fast food chains.

    Minor point, but this does ignore dividends - lol. Back in late 2010, I took out a house mortgage at 3.5% for 15 years. I joked that I should invest the same amount in Intel, which iirc, was yielding 4%. I figured Intel would be safe for 15 years - which I guess technically I would have been right/ok.

    However, the takeaways for me are:
    1) 15 years is an eternity for a company
    2) No matter how dominant the position a company appears to have, you can't take it for granted and have to keep pushing ahead - looking at you Google/Tesla!

    SVB bringing back those 2008 feelings…

    If there is little or no contagion risk the banking sector is suddenly worth a look.
