DISCLAIMER: This trade is based on this date. I'm not suggesting a move up or down. I'm showing my trade that I have already done. I'm not recommending this stock as a purchase/trade. Think of it like this, I'm 'Showing you the World thru my Eyes'.
DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today, (5) Covered Call contract(s) were sold on CCW (ticker: BMY) for the Apr-22 Expiration Date, $0.6 Strike Price for a Premium of $73 > BMY was trading for $71.25 a share.
I already owned these shares with an original cost basis of $52.75 With BMY trading @ $71.25 at the start of this trade I'm (+/-) $18.5 per share.
PREMIUM ONLY TRADE
This is a 'Double my Dividends' trade where I used a Buy&Hold stock and on the companies 'non event' months I try to write a covered call with premium equalling about what the company pays in a quarterly dividend ... never expecting to have my shares taken ... least thats the plan.

OPEN CCW - Bristol Myers is a Buy & Hold stock for me where I hold shares for some stock appreciation and covet its dividend. During the companies off events months I like selling covered calls when the stock is at the top of its trading range ... BMY @ $71.35 seems Over Bought with an RSI 78 so this is a good time to sell the OTM CCW with the hopes the stock never challenges my strike price, close this trade profitable and still own the shares. I commonly refer to this as my 'Double my Dividend' using CCW trade and expect to NOT have my shares taken.

WOULD I ADVISE YOU TAKING THIS TRADE?
No I would not as I feel BMY will fall back as its RSI is now 78 ... its more likely BMY falls and if you bought 100 shares now you might find yourself underwater ... maybe not but if it were me I would most definitely take a watch and see approach. BMY is a Buy&Hold stock for me so I'm LONG and am willing to hold it if it were to fall
