Update: EWZ December 2026 32 Covered CallHere, starting to break my EWZ position (See Post Below) into its constituent pieces.
The first piece involves shares I acquired way back at 31.65/share. (Ugh). Rather than go back and calculate trade to date break even, I'm going out far in duration to sell the short call at or above my break ev

Comments: After closing my Feb 17th 23 for a small profit, opening up a position at a strike slightly lower than what I just had on, attempting to pick up shares at the lowest price the market will allow. Had to use the weeklies to get into the 22.5.
