  1. Please double check. According to Schwab, $.58 price for 7/14 Calls could have been obtained last Friday (on 7/7), but highest price transaction yesterday on 7/10 for these Calls during entire trading day was $.39.

  2. My brokerage activity says: "Sell IWM1714G141 CALL ISHARES TR RUSSELL $141 EXP 07/14/17 @ $0.5800"...

    The 5-day chart for the option on Yahoo shows a spike over $60 at about 12:45pm EDT.

  3. Oops ... I read the Schwab options chart incorrectly. You got a fill near the top price for the day -- good job!

  4. I've discovered that trading the equities with dividends gives me a longer-term view. I can be more patient. I decided on the (reasonable) limit price I wanted rather than putting in a limit price at the current bid/ask level. If it didn't trade, no big deal. I'd just do another one later.
