Market is up but MSFT is down

Investor summaryBearish

Bought MSFT on margin and sold calls to lower cost basis, but feels like bag holding as the stock drops while the market rises.

Bull points
  • Sold ITM calls to lower the adjusted cost basis.
Bear points
  • MSFT is underperforming the broader market.
  • Margin interest is eating into potential profits.
MSFT
Post body

Bought 100 shares of MSFT on margin at $429.60 per share. Immediately sold an ITM call, and a few more calls since then. Adjusted cost basis is $415.71. Plan now is to just hold the shares and not sell anymore calls. I’m paying like $12 interest per day though. Whole market is up but MSFT is down. Is this what bag holding feels like?
