the holder at expiration gets to decide.
my 1200 shares with $5cc sold were not called away.59 South said:
Some anecdotal data for everyone on the expiring $WWR $5 options:
I had sold 60 puts. 8 (13%) were assigned and the rest expired worthless. I'll take it.
So now I have 800 more shares. Overall cost basis down to $4.44.
Curious on how all the others turned out (both sold calls and puts). My explanation from Fidelity is that they automatically execute options if they close in the money, and if not (at strike or out of the money) then the holder at expiration gets to decide.

I'd sell my children to get assigned XL at $17.50 with a $5.40 premium earned. $12.10 assigned. Fill me up!

Question(s) from a novice: what is the strategy or thought process behind selling puts? Is it that, generally speaking, you have a stock that you were going to buy anyways (or wouldn't mind owning a X price / share), so you sell a put and lower the entry point via the collected premium?

My large number of puts were not put
I wanted them. Oh well, rinse and repeat.
Until recently I was never able to fully wrap my head around the impact of selling calls/puts and how its able to benefit your cost basis so much.wanderer said:
I had sold 12 1/15 WWR $5 puts but didn't get assigned on any of them. Only got assigned on my $7.5 puts (obviously).
Able to lower my cost basis to 3.64 considering the $ made from sold calls/puts not called out.

How do y'all keep track of your cost basis on a MA play like WWR where we are grinding with options to collect premium and reduce cost basis?
I don't see where TDA will do the math for you? Does everyone just calculate it themselves manually?
Thanks for sharing! Love a good lotto ticket every now and then. Buy it and forget it. I'm wondering if there are some other lottos that might hit with the current changing political landscape. I know we all may not like what's occured, but there's no reason we can't profit off of it. The change in administration is just a data point to use in order to adjust your strategy.oldarmy1 said:

This is simply passing on a conversation I had with another large investor out of Florida. I have not actioned and most likely will not, as OTC pinks aren't my focus. Some in here think the penny stocks like ONTX aren't a typical focus of a large investor. Well getting ground floor and becoming net free is much easier.
He purchased 50 million shares of EGOC for $80k. He says their engine conversion for fuel and environmental efficiency has connections with the Biden Administration. I asked if it was firsthand information with a contact inside and he said no. It came from an auto producer.
These are as high as risk as one could take but I glanced at the chart and obviously you see the spike since election area and now more volume, including his. I see this as a Vegas type play so for you gamblers who can't go to Vegas this extreme lotto might let you go net free if the current breakout matures. .0007 to 1.4 cents hahahahahahaha.
Again, I am not buying it but when someone like this guy tells me about a OTC lotto I'll pass it for each person to look into.
NOW! If you DO decide to buy and it DOES go to some crazy number I expect a 10% charitable contribution, of my choosing.
We know the rules. We always kick 10% up to the "Big guy".oldarmy1 said:
