For some reason, someone exercised their option and I got assigned my April $15 call one month early. Hey, I'll take the one month premium anytime. So I collected two months of premium along with gaining $1.00 per share in equity. Original purchase price at $14. Had to sell at $15 ($15-$14 = $1) and my monthly premium from selling the contracts was $2.10.
