@navypack Likewise. Also took a small loss on Wednesday. Only lost about one week's premium.

I was recently looking into this as well. But I'd be very cautious. Check this:The tl;dr is that the U.S. wants companies listed on its exchanges to b...
@earlyretirementnowcom I also lost money on a single contract with 4625 strike. Similar to you, I also sold that contract right before market close. I...
