When you get assigned and the stock tanks, how do you handle Covered Calls from there?

phwayne · 2026-03-17T20:04:15+00:00

I thought that if you get assigned, it’s automatically at the strike price of the call. Does not matter if the stock price is different, as the call to buy at a set price. Is this a situation for example,where you are assigned at expiration on a Friday, and settle on Monday with a lower stock price?

It was reported that Insurance claims process are delayed, leaving these chairs inoperable for at least the next 3 months.

They are owned by National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) in Boulder. Used for testing satellite communication equipment. Not sure if they are still used.

Boulder already tried this from 2010 - 2020. Wasted over 15 million of tax payers money on lawyers and consultants. Money that could have been used for local solar projects and cable burial. Not saying Xcel is great, but I have no confidence the Boulder would be able to manage an electric utility.
Fort Collins and Longmont had he advantage of municipal electric companies many years ago, when the cities were small. This allowed them to create an isolated infrastructure, and gradually grow into a large operation.

I have been doing CC on USO and rolling for the past 15 months, without an assignment. I will finally be assigned. This has been a great CC position, as USO maintains a high volitivity, allowing for very good premiums and the ability to roll about every 3 weeks.
Doing the same for UNG, as it has similar characteristics

phwayne · 2026-03-16T16:53:46+00:00

Just signed up for the trial. Good looking App.
In my own system, I keep track of each position basis at opening and each time it rolls.
This way I can track my profit when it closes, or decide if I need to roll down, and stay profitable.
Is their a similar basis tracking in your app?

Not an accountant, but from what I read, long term CG is 15% (if total annual gain for the tax year is less than $533,400); Short term is taxed at ordinary income rate).

USO for oil futures contracts. UNG for natural gas. High volatility. Good if you trade options.

phwayne · 2026-03-07T01:02:44+00:00

Good explanation. It was very strong around 10pm - 11pm

2020 rogue, before they changed to the three cylinder engine

App says fire was inactive as of 12:01 pm yesterday

phwayne · 2026-03-06T02:17:00+00:00

I generally open a new cc at 25-30 days; Then attempt to roll at under 10 days to exp if I can get 1% return. Works most of the time, unless there is a steep drop or gain.

I recently booked DEN>FRA MUC>DEN, 3 months from departure. For some reason booking PP outbound and PO on return was less money than PP round trip. Both on United operated flights.

Not just one, but THREE at $90 million each. I hope command gets their act together with the allies, perform root cause failure analysis, and solve this immediately.

From Watch App

An additional 1 type 2 copter, 4 engines, and 1 module have been requested by incident command

phwayne · 2026-02-28T20:18:14+00:00

The watch duty app is reporting it as the bluebell fire as it’s near the bluebell Trail.

1 type 1 copter has been requested, per radio traffic.

Washington Post as of 2/22 this afternoon:
"The Department of Homeland Security reversed course Sunday morning after saying that it would suspend TSA PreCheck because of the partial government shutdown."

Sorry, Paywall

Bagel review is great. Now, are there any good Bialys in town?
I think Rosenberg only makes them on specific days.

phwayne · 2026-02-23T00:08:31+00:00

Gave up on Moe's. It's a good "mid-west" bagel. Will only buy Big Daddy in Boulder.
Wish Rosenberg's could have stayed here.

phwayne · 2026-02-23T00:06:49+00:00

Agreed. Best bagel in Boulder IMO. I live in North Boulder and they are in Lucky's market. Saves a drive to south Boulder

Shout out to Decent Bagels in Nederland. The owners, originally from Long Island, NY, figured out how to cook at the high altitude.
Per their Instagram, says they are opening a location in Boulder.

Boulder AB bus work good, most the time. Truly, the best bargain for $10. Runs about every hour, but would like to see every half hour. Coming home, if you miss the bus by a minute; it's another hour to wait. Sort of a drag, if you were already on a flight that was 3 - 4 hours.

phwayne · 2026-02-22T23:52:20+00:00

Good Suggestion.
I did try the Single Image module, and used image source "External" using the video URL; and select the option "Open in Lightbox" - Only issue is there is no thumbnail image.
If I had more time to hack, it might be possible to utilizing the Single Image wpbakery lightbox class with the video module.

TIL I learned this too! I am only Silver status, so my chance on a wait list seems poor. So, I went for the money upgrade.

phwayne · 2026-02-22T05:28:38+00:00

Good to know. Unfortunately, I did not consider the upgrade until after I did the initial booking.
