My &#8220;<strong>2017 Challenge<\/strong>&#8221; is ready for review. As I said many times, the delay was because of my large position with U.S. Steel. After today&#8217;s close I no longer own the 10,000 shares! I carried the shares over from 2016 and have been selling Calls for the last 6 weeks. I&#8217;ve been looking to get assigned on my shares because I didn&#8217;t feel comfortable owning this amount of shares on a very volatile stock. Now that U.S. Steel closed In-th-Money my shares will be assigned at $36. I bought them in December for $35.73. I will go over the profit I made with U.S. Steel when I post my results for this week.<\/p>\n<p>I had my&#8221;<strong>2017 Challenge<\/strong>&#8221; ready since early January but didn&#8217;t want to share it until I got out of at least half of my U.S. Steel position. The reason for this is I didn&#8217;t want to commit to my challenge, even though I already started until I knew I was out of a possible problem position. 10,000 shares of a very volatile stock could have put me in a bad situation. Now that I&#8217;m out, I&#8217;m ready to make the commitment to my &#8220;<strong>2017 Challenge<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Please hit the link.
