re painless
Sure, I could have done *better* just holding w/o calls this time (assuming prices hold until expiry), but that was the deal on the table and I took it. No regrets.
What hurt me was watching the option go so far into the money that the premium I took looked really small. But I agree: there was a deal on the table, you took it, and you made money on it, so there's no cause for tears.
I guess my effort to time an end-of-year dip just got easier: it's started!
Take care,
