November equity option expiration aftermath...

As expected my SPY (position 1, position 2) , IEF (dividend capture) , and USO (position 1)  ITM covered call positions were assigned this weekend.   My Nov 42 USO calls expired worthless, so I still hold USO in that position.  I'm hoping for a bump up in oil prices, hopefully enough to get USO back near 42, before I sell calls against that position again.

  I also still have my XLY position, it closed Friday at 28.69, so the Nov 29 calls I sold last week zero'd out.

I expect the market to have a couple more down days, plus I prefer to not be invested in calls with 4 weeks to go before expiration, so I plan to primarily be in cash this week.
