No Purchase This Week [43]

Three options positions expired Friday:

  1. Sold (1) CMCSA260320C35: Expired worthless.
  2. Sold (6) LEG260320P12.5: Assigned and 600 shares of LEG were purchased for $7,500.
  3. Sold (1) VZ260320C43: Assigned and 100 shares of VZ were sold for $4,300.

The $7,500 obligation from (2) was only partially offset by the $4,300 from (3). The $564.33 of unused cash in the account meant the remaining $3,200 obligation could be met with the infusion of $2,636.25 in new money. And this in turn means we need to take nine weeks off to restore the $250+ per week pace of investment.

This week, seven of the portfolio holdings ranked in the Top Ten.

The lowest amount belongs to BDX. There is neither a position nor sector imbalance and nothing would have precluded investment in BDX save that it is an ‘off’ week.
