Unexpected call assignment at 23.50 when the stock closed $0.05 out of the money at $23.45.
I’ve covered the short stock position at $23.45 in the pre-market to remove the upside risk.
I’ll probably short some call spreads today instead.

For the very first time since I started the #FallingKnife strategy last June, the overall portfolio is slightly negative (-0.19%), not counting capital gains I’ve already taken.
The portfolio tends to recover quickly on any market rallies.
For now, I’ll just collect my dividends and continue to average down with tiny adds.
