T -- Closed Dividend Play

T closed ITM, so the call should be exercised over the weekend. This was my longest held position, 411 days. Over the same time period, SPY had a total return of 11.04%, so this holding only slightly outperformed SPY. I've been finding that to be true of a lot of my options plays and dividend champions -- just a slight outperformance.
