Sold a call on Occidental Petroleum at US$62

11 Mar 2024 · Called Away

I agreed to sell 900 shares of Occidental Petroleum at US$62 each if the price rose to that level by 15 Mar 2024. For making that promise, I was paid S$253 upfront.

The share price was above US$62 at expiry, so the 900 shares were sold at US$62 each. I kept the upfront payment.
