Adjustment: Our closing order wasn't filled last week and one of our short calls was exercised today. We're going to buy back the 100 shares of EGO we're now short and close out one of our long calls here. Then, we're going to re-enter our closing order at $5.65 per contract for our remaining position. Obviously, if your short calls were not exercised, you won't be buying back any shares here.
