Click to ENLARGE. From my ‘Fidelity’ account.

I did NOT think this would be possible.

Wow.

WASH SALE on an option! Ah!

I had to call ‘Fidelity‘ to find out what is happening.

Appears it is ALL legit.

Appears I sold a ‘AMZN 210 May 17, 2024‘ call on March 28, 2024. Possible. I do option trades most days. I do THOUSANDS a year! Yep. My addiction. Option trading. The guy at Fidelity commented on it too. He goes “Yes, I can see that you trade a LOT“. Understatment.

I can LIVE with a $329 WASH SALE. SMILE. Won’t bankrupt me (just). SMILE.

But, I learnt a lesson. Be careful …. You can incur a WASH. This one is trivial. Wasn’t even really worth a phone call. But, I wanted to know.

Smile.
