Closing (IRA): SOFI November 19th 17.5 Covered Calls
... for a 16.92/contract debit.
Comments: There's still about .50 of extrinsic in the short calls here, but earnings are in 22 days, and I'm taking the money and running here. My cost basis in the shares covered by the short calls is 14.74 (See Post Below), so closing out here results in a realized gain of 16.92 - 14.76 = 2.16 ($216)/contract. This is about "neatening up" and/or simplifying my portfolio a bit more than anything else.
