| My brief explanation for this trade and how it closed | ||||
| MINDSET WHEN OPENED - Below I explain why I did this trade | ||||
| NO stock appreciation on this one if shares are taken - CCW - I have 500 shares but only using 300 for this CCW as I think the stock might find its way into the low 80's ... so will let the stock move higher ... but until then gonna do this 3 contract OTM $77 (which $77.50 is my true cost basis) and if the shares are taken its a close enough clean deal for me | ||||
| WHEN TRADE CLOSES - I explain my thoughts on how this closed out. | ||||

| What is Implied Volatility? - Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. - source: Zacks Investment Research | ||||

| How I could 'Manage' this trade? | ||||
| I could manage this Covered Call - #1 - The stock moves and closes on expiration above my strike price. My shares will be given assigned to the Call Buyer, I will be given cash for my shares (strike price) | ||||
| I could manage this Covered Call - #2 - The stock does not close at or above my strike by expiration, I will likely not have my shares taken from me. I keep my shares, I keep the Covered Call premium. Trade ends. Shares become available to trade. | ||||
| I could manage this Covered Call - #3 - Regardless of where the stock moves during the Covered Call timeframe, a news event or Ex-Date prompts the Call buyer or market maker to take my shares before expiration. Most common situation, the stock has moved up and now trades near or above the strike price making it profitable to exercise the Call option early for the Call Buyer to collect the dividend. | ||||
