My Decker stock was also called away on Expiration Friday of last week. I’d purchased 400 shares at $53.60 and sold 4 July 55 call options at $1.31. I also attempted to make additional profit by buying put options against the shares but, it didn’t work as I had my trading techniques/scenarios mixed up.
Here’s a look at how I did:
