I've been in this position before,
but I found it curious that this is the first time TDA ever sent me an email advising me of the possible consequences.
Like paying the dividend for every share I'm short, etc.
No big deal either way.
I'm short some ITM Calls on AA which goes ex-dividend ($.10) Monday.
Closed @ 55.52 on Fri.
They are:
17 Mar 52
31 Mar 55
6 Apr 55
Think I'll be called away?
Place yer bets.
Thank you for bringing XOM to my attention.
I'm in three others, KMI, MRO and OXY.
Obviously not in the six figure price range like XOM.
I took a diagonal Call credit spread position in XOM this morning.
So far, so good.

Didn't read all of the thread.
500 shares is a perfect amount to ladder out.
I don't know your cost basis, which is important.
Also, what is your goal?
That will really dictate your strike price.
I'd crawl before I walk, walk before I run.
Do one contract next week,
preferably above...
It seems that having a distinctive 'look' has a lot to do with it.
Branding, image, etc.
I always think of Carlos Santana in that regard,
you know who it is immediately.
His 'look" will never change.
So, Wood, Trump, Dolly, etc
(...even SBF...)
I participate in another Forum where the skin is so thin.
Several of the posts here would have earned the poster a suspension.
I enjoy the spirited banter here.
Let 'er rip.
I can't even look at that guy.
Wait, that is a guy, right?
I understand branding and having a "look",
but that beret is beyond goofy.
and shouldn't he be fawning all over KST?
What a joke.
