The trade results and did it meet expectations?
FINAL RESULT = CCW profit, but shares are underwater now :/ ... playing 3M (MMM) for a nice 30 day trade ... the idea WAS to let this go to expiration ... but as the markets tanked so did MMM and the CCW premium I got paid ... and typically when an option falls 50% in the first week, I buy back the option and look for another opportunity ... well, thats what happened here ... the stock fell, the option fell from $2.55 > $1.06 ... more then half, bought back the option, we move on. ... hoping to weather this storm and can write a CC on MMM when we get a green day or 2
