Post #3940 by mungofitch on the Berkshire Hathaway board

When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

My number of shares "controlled" has been reduced, due to converting calls to shares. Does this account for any of your share reduction?

Personally, I count everything the same. So selling 1 call is the same as selling 100 shares. All long exposures are the same.
(I also count writing a covered call against existing long positions as equivalent to a stock sale)

I think of switches between shares and calls as a separate financing activity: borrowing money or paying it back.
