You can exercise whenever you want. You've purchased the right to do so. Depending on the brokerage you use, there might be a fee. Most just sell the call back to the market.

What the story on TRNX after hours? Pushing up with volume.

Alright, rookie question.
When you sell a covered call, do they get called away because of the price at closing of regular hours, or extended hours?
I'm asking because a covered call I sold was right on the nose at close, and has dipped a couple cents after hours so far (AMD at 27.50).

Escalations in its trade dispute with the U.S. not only could dent China's economy but also impact its credit standing, according to ratings agencies.
China's credit remains strong despite a weakening economy and a high-stakes tariff battle it is engaged in with the U.S. However, should the impasse linger on, the damages could become greater and start having some deeper impacts.
"The tariff war is negative for China especially at a time when its policy makers are battling problems of rising debt and increasing leverage in its economy," analysts at ratings agency DBRS said in a note. "The economic impact on China of rising tariffs would be broader than just via its trade with the U.S."

It's not overblown. If anything it's understated. What happens if China dumps 500B or 1T? Or even just threatens to do so... you'll see the December bottom get tested.

Loup Venture thinks Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) made a strategic error by running up analyst expectations on its short-term growth potential during its pre-IPO roadshow.
"Based on our experience as sell-siders on over 20 IPOs, Pinterest would have been better off speaking about its near-term prospects more conservatively to push estimates for CY19 to around $1 billion or even slightly lower rather than the $1.07 billion that investors expected," writes analyst Doug Clinton."
"It's unlikely that difference in CY19 revenue would have impacted the deal price, but it would have helped avoid the double-digit percentage decline post earnings. It may have even pushed the stock higher on the report if the guide was 6-8% higher than expectations," he adds.
Pinterest closed at $26.70 on Friday vs. the post- IPO high of $35.29.

UPDATE: Brett Arends: I tried Beyond Meat's burgers three times -- here's what I thought

By Brett Arends, MarketWatch
As a vegetarian, the Beyond Burger didn't take me back to the days when I was an omnivore
Wait -- this is it?
This is the world's most expensive sandwich? This is the $5 billion--plus miracle that has people on Wall Street fainting with ecstasy?
Are you kidding me?
I'm sitting in a restaurant in South Boston biting into a "Beyond Burger" -- the vegetarian "but it tastes like meat" phenomenon that is sending Beyond Meat's stockinto orbit.
And ... huh?
It tastes to me like a dry, rubbery patty. The flavor? Meh.
Is it like "meat"? Well, kinda. Sorta. Maybe. It tastes a bit like those cheap, frozen hamburgers we used to get at high school.
I prefer the "veggie patty" at Subway. Sorry.
I was so disappointed I immediately called an Uberand zoomed across town to a more upscale restaurant to see if I liked its Beyond Burger any better.
I didn't.
"We used to have an awesome falafel burger!" the waitress told me, sadly.
I was so baffled, I went over to Whole Foods and bought a "fresh" Beyond Burger and grilled it at home. I couldn't even finish it. Not even covered in ketchup. I had to air out my home.
Tastes like ...
OK, I've been a vegetarian for about five years. Maybe I've forgotten what meat tastes like. Maybe I'd have the same reaction to a real hamburger. But I'd be surprised. I didn't quit meat because of the taste. And back when I was an omnivore, I used to love red meat, including burgers. And I mean real burgers -- ground steak, seared on both sides, and served rare. I used to adore rare steak, too.
But this Beyond Burger didn't take me back.
Some of my vegetarian friends insist they really like Beyond Burgers. And they are apparently not alone.
