Yesterday, Tuesday, March 16th, our deposit into the retirement account was available to invest and, lucky for us, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) shares moved below the strike price of the option we used to liquidate our shares. BRKB closed Friday above $260 per share and we sold the fortunate option owner 100 shares for $252.50. Our purchase of one hundred BRKB shares was executed just less than $251 per share so we actually made about $155 on the transaction in addition to the $125 premium.
After updating our trade record to show the true cost (benefit) of the transaction, our trade netted $279.30 compared to a loss of more than six hundred dollars. Our 2021 trade revenue is now more than $8,000 compared to almost $22,500 in 2020.
