You might be right. I am going to wait a little longer. T has been in a slide for a while so I'm not going to adjust my Put Sale prices. If it slides much more I will get additional executions. just trying to be patient. Although it is certainly possible I will miss my chance to add.

I had sold some 33.00 and 34.00 T puts for the month of September. Last night I got all of them exercised early by 2 months. The dip down to 30.13 yesterday must have scared someone to exercise the puts early. I've had this happen once or twice before. Strange that in another account I had the same puts sold and nothing was exercised - I think this must occur based on who and where the put was bought?? Not sure but it looks like that. I have been hoping to accumulate a position in T and it has been a bigger success than I expected. I've sold puts on T from 30 to 53 and some out more than a year. Puts my dividend yield up into the 6.25 ish yield. T beat on earnings and in my opinion is a solid long term buy and hold. Who's not going to use their smartphone more in the future.
