I feel absent minded this week, forgetting many minor things. In the stock market, I took assignment on sold AAPL calls and paid
for it. Even with this unforced error, I eek out a gain for the week. It is one reason I like to play with the odds in my favor. There is more room for mistakes. Tesla’s dump on earnings news doesn’t burn me, because
I sold options so far out of the money.
My mind is elsewhere at times, so try to stay out of trouble. Here are the trades (p = puts, c = calls, sell means sell-to-open, cover means buy-to-close, number near end is price per contract).
Mon A blue Monday for me as AAPL continues higher after my failure to close before getting assigned. Cover 100
AAPL shares 166.07 effectively about a 3000% loss on the 162.5 calls I sold that got assigned. Down the rabbit hole I go, and I come out a lot worse.Cover AAPL Nov 165 c 525 for a 260% loss
