Is this a Wash Sale

I own 50 shares of stock X
I own 1 call option of stock X that expires December 19th
Can I sell the 50 shares of stock X at a loss right now and then exercise the call option to take ownership of 100 shares of stock X?
I know if I sold Stock X at a loss right now and then repurchased on December 19th then that is a wash sale. However I didn't know if things change with the call option

Almost sure that the answer is yes
The exercise is an execution of the right to purchase shares at “X” price.
Definitely sounds like a wash sale.

Short answer: No, that does NOT avoid the wash sale. Exercising your call option counts as reacquiring substantially identical stock, which triggers a wash sale if it happens within the 30-day window.

Those little Ws piss me off. It’s like they’re hanging out just to remind me that I’m an idiot.

Yes exercising a call option is a purchase
