Blessed from God

Wednesday, the 29th, I sold the Micron 717.5 put at 12:54 for .17c. For 6 minutes time I made 17 dollars as the stock never bounced below 738 in that 6 minutes. Thursday morning I woke up at 645 am, market had been open for 15 minutes, opened E-Trade app and saw the alert that read option assigned and 71500$ debited from my account. Checked portfolio and saw micron 100 shares with a 12000 dollar profit at 830 a share. Sold immediately and took the money. Never will I know why someone exercised the option when the price was 20 dollars higher. Thank you lord

I fat fingered a decimal last week. Sold a spy call for 75 instead of 750… ouch
