AG Covered Call Position Closed for a Win!
🕑 Added 2025-12-05 21:58:18 +0000 UTCI'm happy to announce that this trade has now closed for a win.
We purchased AG for $12.33 on October 27th.
The position closes today because the price is $13+.
Essentially, we purchased AG for $12.33 and sold it for $13.25.
That is a 7.5% return in 6 weeks.
But let this be a lesson of the disadvantages of a covered call...
If we bought AG for $12.33 and did NOT write a covered call, then we could have sold it today at the market price of $15.06 (instead of $13.25). That is the danger of a covered call, that you cap your upside potential.
I'm not complaining but you should be aware of the pros and cons of covered calls. They can be a great hedge, a great income source, but it can limit your upside. Use them wisely.

I wanted less AG exposure because we still have the other covered call. I may roll the other one expiring the 19th. But good idea Squirrely.
