Unwinding INTC

I unwound my 27 Aug covered call for INTC yesterday.  The stock was in the money and there wasn’t much point in letting the investment just sit there for another two months with little upside.  It is the earliest I’ve had the opportunity to close out an in the money position – now I’ll move on to finding a new stock to roll the funds into.
