WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

  WannaBe: Prof. Shapley have passed away, he was always an interesting figure at Math & Science Hall at UCLA

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-...

That photo could have been any day on campus, he's always dressed like that. Scruffy beard and all.

He also had a teaching position at Econ Department (Ralph Bunch Hall, if I remember correctly), even though he was a full tenured professor with the Mathematics Department.

Never had the pleasure or the smarts to take a class with him, wonder what it would have been like. I wonder if <NakoSonorense> took any class with him.

  WannaBe: Light rain and drizzle here at NorCal, much welcomed, still. It will be clear next weekend when I make the semi-annual trip to Reno.

  WannaBe: Have to decide between LendingClub (LC) or Bank of America, LC's option prices are more volatile.

Think I can do covered call with LC with June or May expiration and a quick in-n-out with it.

(I did the same thing about half a year ago, with the same stock, I am also a micro-lender on LendingClub, and kiva.org, too)

See how the market opens Monday.

  WannaBe: Oops, LC only have April or July expiration on options, thinking of July expiration with strike price of $10.
Mar-21-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Alright, did LC, was able to 'low-ball' this morning, and get the stock at $8.67 each, (it's now at 8.72) and sold CC for July 15 strike price $10.00 for 0.85 premium!

Wheeeee!!
