Last week the stock received an upgrade and has been fighting it&#8217;s way back to where I bought it. A few minutes ago, with the stock at $51.90, I sold a $52 Call to expire today at the close.

As I write the stock is right at $52. If I get assigned I&#8217;ll make an additional $250 on the stock sale. If I don&#8217;t get assigned, I hope the stock stays up in the $52 range to get another Call sold for next week.
