Are you concerned about the recent decline in mortgage originations? It seems like the next year or two may be a bumpy ride for new mortgages.

Just curious. Is anyone playing options with airline stocks these days? Seems like there’s some upside with the pent up travel demand but also the downside risk of higher fuel prices and inflation. So a mixed bag of volatility. What do the pros think? (Yes I know, there are no pros on these boards, dyodd etc)

The key word is "play". A safer way to play options is with covered call ETFs like XYLD and RYLD. You miss the big hits and dopamine rush that comes from naked calls, but for the slow & steady investors like me, the monthly distributions are fine.
