WHY I OPENED this PMMC CCW - SQ rocks higher this morning after earnings and is up some 15+ % ... using the 19 Delta, $135 Strike Im going to watch this play out and will manage this trade if my strike is challenged ... I will ROLL regardless as my cost basis on this LEAPS is deep underwater. But hey, its a premium trade, so we collect premium. I used the 19 DELTA so I can manage this trade should it move fast to the Strike Price

WHY I CLOSED this PMCC CCW Trade > Receiving $2.40 and this CCW option falling to a mere 0.44 cents with over 2 weeks left, I bought back and will roll ahead to probably the Feb-18 expire and do the 30 Delta ... as for now, we pocket this picking up another Krum using these LEAPS.

WHY I CLOSED this PMCC CCW Trade - the option fell to under -50% and with SQ now down under $125 I can roll down to the $140 strike and feel i wont be challenged and collect some more cash flow ... i will push back the expire to Feb-25 to collect more prem ... have not doen this yet .. waiting

BRIEF EXPLANATION WHY I DID THIS TRADE
MINDSET WHEN OPENED - Below I explain why I did this trade
WHY I OPENED this CCW Trade - as I emailed, the DOW is in correction mode and using this as a buy low, sell premium moment I TRIED to get $6.10 but that didn't happen ... checking my expectations at the door as the UDOW kept falling, I did a LIMIT order (never do Market in a falling market) and got a respectable $5.30 or $1,060 ... hoping my shares are taken by Apr-14
WHEN TRADE CLOSES - I explain my thoughts on how this closed out.
