Closed covered call with SKLZ stock

On May 07, 2021, our 100 shares of NYSE: SKLZ got called away at the strike price of $15.5. We were in this trade just for one day.

We have been in this trade just for one day, we bought 100 shares on May 06, paying $15.11 per share, and simultaneously sold the next days expiry covered call with a strike price of $15.5

On the close stock traded above $15.5 and we realized our max gain of $66.6 or about 4.4% yield in just one day. Awesome.

It seems we got just lucky, entering this trade at the right moment. For the future, I won’t risk trading SKLZ

Barrick gold is a stock we see we are going to continue selling calls and puts in the future. Right now waiting for a pullback in this stock before entering a new trade.
