Perhaps I am not doing it right but some of those big misses make me wonder if I pick the wrong stock to play options.Second attempt at a response. Can you share trade details? Price of shares at time of trade. Cost basis. Strike price and dates of course. Before you even answer, quality tech stocks are tough. You have to be at peace with the getting exercised. I tend to wait until I am profitable, and the stock would have to run considerably higher to exercise me. Even then it doesn't always work out.
