Established Covered Calls in AT&T Inc. and Caterpillar Inc.

Yesterday, the following Covered Calls positions were established:
1. Bought 500 AT&T shares @ $28.63
    Sold 5 January 18, 2019 $28.00 Call options @ $1.18
    Notes: Ex-dividend of $.51 on 1/9/2019; No earnings report prior to options expiration
2. Bought 100 Caterpillar Inc. shares @ $121.68
    Sold 1 February 15, 2019 $115.00 Call option @ $11.82
    Notes: Ex-dividend of $.86 on 1/18/2019; No earnings report prior to option expiration

Given the many Christmas preparation activities on my "Honey-Do" list today, I will forego taking the time to write the details related to these transactions. 

I do plan to post Dec 21st, 2018 options expiration results on this blog tomorrow.  Should be another easy post given the precipitous market decline of the past month; so, none of the Covered Calls Advisor's stocks were assigned (since all stocks closed below their strike prices).

Best Wishes to All and Merry Christmas!
