Bob, I did the EXACT same thing as you just did last quarter, with a twist... I bought 2 7.50 IFMX calls before earnings, and expiration was either right before or at earnings.. I excersized the calls, owning 200 shares, wanting to CC it, thinking that if I had the stock at 7.5, and earnings were great that Q, in fact it was a turn-around quarter for them. I decided to wait hoping for 8 or higher, watching the thread, there was high hopes.. It never got there, and I sold the stock at a loss, being very irritated with how earnings were treated.. You know that is happening over and over and over. A Co that has great earnings is treated like crap for various reasons.. pump and dump speculators, forward looks arent as good, bad market day whatever.. I am sorry that happened, and since I havent ever excersized calls. I never did write the CC's..
