The stock of my first trade with this account, COP, closed at $69.56 today, a week after I exited when my call option was assigned. This is one of those situations I will need to get used to with the covered call strategy...if I had stayed long in the shares, I would be up around $500 and looking to collect the dividend on my shares.
As it is I am out of the stock, having taken a nice profit, and not subject to the volatility that might ensue from such a quick run up...
I think the point has to be that the previous transaction was a trade, making money the old fashioned way, buying low and selling higher. At least, that is what I am going to tell myself with this new approach.
