I am finally down to just one last lot of IONQ shares after multiple previous lots were called away when my covered call options expired in the money. To keep this final lot, I was forced to play aggressive defense, continuously rolling that in-the-money contract up and out to avoid assignment. The recent pullback in IONQ’s price provided the perfect opportunity, finally reducing the value of that stubborn covered call option to the point where it expired worthless, securing my remaining shares. Having successfully defended my core position, I am now pivoting to offense by selling Cash-Secured Puts (CSPs) on IONQ. The goal now is to use the premium income to try and leg back into owning more lots of this quantum computing favorite at attractive prices.
