Not sure it was the right time to let the shares go…..but had to manage margin creep up do to “roll ups” on Friday.

#coveredcalls SNAP
Bought 100 shares and sold a Dec. 4, 46 call for 44.14. SNAP is at 44.89 or so, down a dollar and change.
I established a CC + Put Protection (*.98) strategy for SDC. SDC has moved up from $9.72 to $12.10. I rolled the short calls from $9.50 to $11 to $12. The Put was at $8.50 and it is now worth $0. Would you usually roll the Put up when the stock runs up as the appreciation is no longer protected or just let the stock get called (assuming it stays above $12) away and do a reset.
#CoveredCalls – Just a couple rolls today. Not much else to do but sit and watch the time value come out of everything…

Was really hoping most of the Covered Calls would be assigned. The LULU was a #BUPS that got rolled into another, so was wider than my typical. Probably should bail out of the SLB with a small loss – not much premium even going to Dec expirations.
