Why does it seem like it always happens to me?
Hey good people of the Reddit community, I’m not complaining or anything but man it seems like soon as soon I sell a covered call the stock just rockets, the stock I’m talking bout in particular is AMD, I have 200 shares at an average cost basis of 177. Been holding 485 days but since last November I started selling CCs I’ve made about 2500$ selling CCs with AMD up until I sold a AMD 240 April 17 CC premium collected 1.49 a apiece 2 contracts total, well AMD rocket shipped on me and I broke my rules and chased it down bought back both contracts for 8.50 apiece, then broke another one of my rules and tried to collect all the premium back from the prior loss on the CC with one trade selling 2 AMD April 24 260 CCs at 8$ per contract, I’m not chasing this any more just hate when I get emotionally attached to a stock, how do u guys deal with that?
