I bought 200 shares of Macys (M) on 6/28/21 at $19.20. I sold a few Calls against these shares but was not assigned. Today I sold another Call. I’m trying to get assigned so I sold a $19 In-the-Money Covered Call. The stock is down so I had to go out to 8/20 to get […]

Earlier I wrote that I made trades with Workhorse and Nikola. I took shares from The Grasshopper Field and combined them with shares I have in my main trading account. With this crazy market I’m trying to consolidate and get rid as much as I can. I’m gonna try to set myself up for a […]

Earlier when I reported buying a NVDA Call as part of my NVDA split strategy I wrote that I’d be buying more NVDA Calls. I said I would buy 1 or 2 contracts the day of the split. If the stock split at $800 with a 4:1 split I would buy the $200 LEAPS Call. […]
