#closing OXY
March 5 and 6 I looked into my crystal ball and started trading OXY and OXY promptly dropped to around 10 from the 30s. The dividend of .79 went to .01. Through several trades, rolls and assignment, I closed today, making about $1500.

#closing LK LKNCY
Jan. 6, 2020 I started trading LK ,the Chinese Starbucks competitor by successfully selling a 30 put, then a 36.50 put, a 40 put, by March a 30 put. There were financial shenanigans and a pandemic and I was assigned 100 shares at 30., LK was delisted and became LKNCY. I bought 100 shares in May at 2.08. I was a little early as it went below 1.00 in June. I sold the shares today at 13.21. If I include the early profitable put sales, I only lost about $130.00.
I don’t drink coffee.
