EXPD - Closed

The EXPD position was closed today for a profit. This one was a gift from the options Gods. The Aug07 45 call actually closed ITM on Friday, but for some strange reason the stock didn't get called away. This is the first time this has happened in over 2 years of trading covered calls. But I'm not complaining since I ended up with a greater profit. The following is the trade history and returns, including IB commissions.
