Closed the Covered Calls Position in Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.

At last Friday's options expiration, five June 3rd, 2022 Covered Calls in Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (ticker CLF) expired with the stock price slightly below the $23.00 strike price, so the Calls expired and the 500 shares of Cleveland-Cliffs remained in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio.  I decided to close this position to make additional cash available for future Covered Calls positions.  So, soon after this morning's market open, I closed this Cleveland-Cliffs position by selling the 500 shares at the market price of $22.955 per share.    

As detailed below, the return-on-investment results for this Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. position was: +6.4% absolute return in 14 days (equivalent to a +167.8% annualized return-on-investment).
