Sold to Open $VLO Nov 6th 70 calls for .35 and .40.  These are “against” my short stock position I was assigned Friday at 65.00.  This was an earnings play I could have exited for cheap earlier in the week, but stayed in for the expiration and it ran away.  Bullish action continues…  I know these calls increase my risk rather than mitigate it, but haven’t had the opportunity to sell covered puts.  Chart looks pretty strong on this one so I will work to adjust my cost basis lower if it does not pause on its trend soon.
