The Southern Company is a reliable dividend player, as evidenced by it declaring the 22nd annual dividend increase.
But the current macro environment makes investing in utility stocks highly questionable.
The Southern Company stock's own valuation is too rich for my taste as well.

RH's earnings were a disappointment, but the real opportunity would have been to pick up shares in the post/pre market immediately after the announcement.
There are probably a lot of amateurs buying options on their phone apps. It's straight up gambling. They're bidding on options that are well out of the money with only hours left to exist - talk about owning depreciating assets!
I sold another series of RH puts this morning from $227.50 to $337.50.
Forgot about BRK's big 10.7% stake in RH. Worth $566,000,000 on Dec 31. 2022.

Here's one then. RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) had huge I.V. going into earnings. I was able to sell puts between $180 and $210.
While most of the I.V. came out after earnings, there is still a lot of it in the puts expiring tomorrow. Anyway, I bought back what I sold yesterday and might be able to sell some more tomorrow? It's amazing how people are willing to buy options on the day of expiration. That's kind of a new thing...

This report is illuminating if someone is following dividend action. The latest report covering February 2023 showed there were plenty of increases AND decreases last month, which is unusual. The 100 dividend reductions were certainly remarkable.
WOW that was a brutal RED day... their starting to raise interest too much now going to crash the economy.
If we have a good Jobs report tomorrow will make it go down more Amazing!

"With Easy Money Gone, Executives Tighten Belts by Slashing Dividends"
"So far this year, as many as 17 companies in the Dow Jones US Total Stock Market Index cut their dividends, Bloomberg’s Jill R. Shah and Ian King reported on Friday. Pressure may build for more to follow suit as revenue and profits decline — and as debt, as a proportion of earnings, grows. A wall of upcoming debt maturities is also increasing the need to retain cash on balance sheets.
For credit investors, it’s a welcome change from the days when corporate executives opened the taps on dividend payouts and even loaded up on cheap credit to fund them."

Interesting monthly snapshots of div increases/decreases. A simple way to view the market's health.
"Dividends by the Numbers in January 2023
2023 got off to a rocky start for dividend paying stocks in the U.S. stock market. The number of firms announcing dividend reductions jumped back above the threshold indicating recessionary conditions are present in the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, the number of dividend increases announced during January 2023 presents a more mixed picture, up month over month, but down year over year.
These changes are visualized in the following chart...."

Has anyone noticed the implied volatility in Avis Budget Group (CAR)? It's enormous!
I'm thinking the LYFT disaster might be contributing to it? But if you think about it, CAR makes money (LYFT doesn't) and the business model is really the antithesis of LYFT/UBER's.
Earnings are today after the bell.
Friday's 141 put is really sticking out. I just sold two of them for 90¢. That's $77 out of the money on a $218 stock!!
