MDT - Closed




The Medtronic Inc (MDT) Feb11 36.00 Call was exercised and the position was closed. All prices include IB commissions.

This position resulted in a loss. I made a few mistakes with this position. First, I bought MDT above my target buy price. Then when the stock declined, I sold a call below my cost basis. I should have just left the position uncovered until I could sell a call at my original cost basis or higher. However, since I did sell a call below my cost basis, I should have rolled it out to a higher strike when the stock price began to rise. So these three mistakes resulted in a loss.
