SIRI Monthly Thread October 2015 (with NFL Chat)

[user34615145]

I'm really out of touch with today's repair costs. I suggest you can phone your nearest Golfsmith or Dick's, or any other local such retailer where they do custom fitting, repairs, etc. , and they could give an accurate estimate. Rough guess for new steel shaft, new grip, and labor......... $40???? Maybe more, maybe less.

Regarding whether or not it is worth it, I would say that possibly if one shaft has deteriorated to that point of failure, others in the bag may be about to suffer the same fate........ I know that Golfsmith has a Used Club bin so you might compare the repair cost to the price of a decent used club from that bin which would hold you over until you are ready to spring for a new set..

EDIT: I purchased my last new set of clubs off of eBay. I first checked price at Golfsmith then found identical merchandise at eBay for roughly half of retail price. I later got a new Taylormade driver (retail price $399) for $140 on eBay (new, in unopened packaging, including head cover). Had similar scenario with a Cobra 4-Hybrid from eBay for $79 compared with retail price of $139.
You might search eBay to see if you find similar bargains in what you are looking for.

Thanks for the info. Your point is taken. I should just purchase a new set of irons. I'm just being my typical cheapskate self....spending too much time trying to figure out how to save $10 when all I need to do is just get a new 6 iron and be done with it.

THE BROWNS WIN!!!!!!
Congrats SB38!!

Wahoo The Ravens are 1 -4 but a win is a win. Doesn't happen often around here.
Beating the Ravens is especially satisfying for the Browns and the fans since Modell & the City of Baltimore stole the team away from Cleveland. And this after Baltimore had their team stolen from them. Hippocrates

Hey Denco, you out there today? I guess we shouldn't be too surprised at the outcome of yesterday's game for the "boys". In the first quarter it appeared the Pats might be in for a long day, but that was not to be.

Real reason for my note to you is to ask for a reminder of how to interpret today's P&F chart. I do recognize a 4-point reversal this morning, so that is a very strong Bullish indicator. What I also recognize is that I've forgotten to install my Photoshop application on this new PC, so for the time being I am unable to post my chart image here....... So, without the aid of the chart to look at here, let me ask if you agree with my 4-point reversal statement, and also wouldn't we be looking at a double top break out at 3.97? If all that is true, then I'd say we have lots to look forward to as we run up to the CC.

PS. I just reminded myself that I have the "P&F Bible" on my book shelf: "Point & Figure Charting" by Thomas J. Dorsey, so now might be a good time to pick it up and review the basics. In the meantime, how to get a chart image from stockcharts.com to your posted entry here on the forum?..... My process might be antiquated in that I cut and paste the chart from stockcharts.com into my Photoshop Elements, and from there I import it to a folder on my PC so it can be imported into this space............ Is that basically what you do or can you suggest an easier approach for me?

I'm gonna make an earnings trade on NFLX. They report Q3 after the close on Wed. 10/16. $.08/share on $1.75 billion in rev's seems to be the consensus.

Stock is currently trading around $114/share with a P/E of 256 - so it's priced for perfection and has a history of being pretty volatile on earnings hit/misses.

I'm gonna try and take advantage of that volatility and sell the Oct16 $100 PUT for $2.35-$2.50, meaning I'll get PUT (have to buy) the stock at $100 if they miss and the stock pulls back to below $100. If they do well, or at least don't do so poorly that the stock pulls back to under $100, then I get to keep the premium.

If I do get put the stock, my plan is to turn around and sell covered calls against the holdings in order to at least get back to even.

So fasten your seatbelts kids cause daddy needs $$$ for a new six iron!
