XOM
Here's what I am doing, at the moment. I'm looking for this to run a bit into the Close.
Sell Order at $89.78
Sell Order at $91.00
Selling CC's $95 May 27 @ $0.60 = Was away. Got brokerage notice. These traded.
Selling CC's $100 May 27 @ $0.20
I own several positions in different accounts and this is what works for me today per the strategies in those accounts.
Yea!
No other executions. Whoever bought those Calls makes me think May 27th $95 will be XOM's share price, or more. That would be great!
Farmer... I hope all is well after the tornadic experience you and yours went through last week.
I have a question on your May 27s being called out. Why would somebody call those shares out when XOM was trading under $90 on May 11th when you posted this?
Perhaps Monday is affecting my brain, but an explanation would be appreciated because it is not hitting me.
They weren't Called out at the time of the post. Someone bought the Calls at what was the high for the day on some low volume. I thought it was quite the premium they paid on that particular day. I didn't think they would trade at $0.60 that day, but I knew I would get $0.60, or better, for a $95 5/27 Strike in the coming days. Whoever bought those Calls will likely end up Calling out, or exercising, my shares away sometime between now and the 27th. That's okay with me. This particular position is a trading play. And, if XOM dips back to $88 or $89, I'll reload.
We had a Derecho here in SD. Lots of damage. Final story was winds were steady coming through our area at 98 mph and gusts of 135 mph. I'll tell you one thing, God has his hand on a heck of a lot of people - I saw many trees blown over next to homes and trailer homes that I thought wouldn't survive a 75 mph wind. The trees were uprooted surrounding the trailer homes and old homes and those structures stood with no damaged. Many roofs to be replaced here. Railcars blown over, irrigation systems, semi-trucks, etc. Next door neighbor lost a shed, 80 X 150, everything inside it was still there - untouched; however, not a single part of the shed structure has been located. What looked like a double car-port roof rolled through our backyard like a beach ball and headed across the golf course to the I-29 Interstate. Have no idea where that thing stopped. Then got black as night. I moved away from the windows and got low after that. Side note, after living in Lubbock for 3 years, I developed a more sincere appreciation for a tree, because there weren't any. Any time you lose a tree on the Plains is a rough day. Thursday,...we had a really bad day..
USDA Crop Planting Progress Report today will show we are still behind...
