DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today, using my own (1000) shares of VLO (ticker: VLO) when the stock was trading for $110.64 a share I Sold (10) Covered Call contract(s) for the May-26-2023 Expiration Date, $117.00 Strike Price for a Premium of $1.05
I own these shares with an original cost basis of $129.00
PREMIUM ONLY TRADE
Because I received my shares through a CSP much higher, if my shares are taken I will not make any money on the sale of the shares at this strike price.

WHY I OPENED this CCW on > VLO > Feeling that I need to make some money with these 1,000 shares I'm going to go ahead and write this deep out of the money covered call the $117 strike and try to pick up both the $1 dividend and not have my shares taken away I need to manage this trade because my cost basis on the shares equals $129 if my Shares are taking away I will lose money on this trade so I will be managing this trade hopefully the $117 strike is out just enough or even a dividend capture run in the stock won't challenge my strike price> as always, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself.
WHATS THE CASH ON CASH PERCENTAGE GAIN
NOTE: This is a Premium only trade (for the most part) because if my shares are taken/assigned I will not make anything on the stock sale.

WOULD I SUGGEST THIS TRADE?
VLO is a HIGH TO MODERATE (RISK LEVEL 7|8|9) WITH HIGH VOLILITY and only the well experienced options trader should get involved IF you're asking me. VLO ... so be careful but if you do trade this stock know that the premiums will pay you well for your efforts. I can help guide you through a trade if you have questions later
