The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

On 1/30 I sold $405 Calls with an expiration of 4/19. I made $346.50 per Call. They got assigned on 4/19, so my broker sold the stock for $405 per share ($40,500 per Call).

Should I be surprise they were assigned? On 4/19 the Open was 401.04, High was 405.57 and close was 405.08, barely above the exercise price.

Now it looks to be trading around 402.20. If I just buy the stock back at today's price, my round trip will have gained me $6.26 per B share.

Should I get fancier with the options and sell cash backed puts for a better entry price?
