Closed a Covered Call position prior to expiration
Gilead Sciences
TIME AND DATE STAMP | .		July 20, 2020
My brief explanation why I ended this trade early
GILD higher, my option lower ... with my GILD shares trading over my $77.50 strike yet the option was trading for about $1.10 lower ... and earnings coming ... I feel GILD is going to get a little wind under it the rest of this week and probably finishes higher ... and I think its virus drug will show some good numbers and Wall Street push it even higher so I'm going to roll the dice here and buy back, then wait, then write another covered call for more credits. We will see I guess.

How I could 'Manage' this trade should the stock rise or fall prior to expiration
I could manage this Covered Call - #1 - The stock moves and closes on expiration above my strike price. My shares will be given assigned to the Call Buyer, I will be given cash for my shares (strike price)
I could manage this Covered Call - #2 - The stock does not close at or above my strike by expiration, I will likely not have my shares taken from me. I keep my shares, I keep the Covered Call premium. Trade ends. Shares become available to trade.
I could manage this Covered Call - #3 - Regardless of where the stock moves during the Covered Call timeframe, a news event or Ex-Date prompts the Call buyer or market maker to take my shares before expiration. Most common situation, the stock has moved up and now trades near or above the strike price making it profitable to exercise the Call option early for the Call Buyer to collect the dividend.
