WHY I OPENED this CCW on > SQ > SQ is moving today, I will use this move for a little krum, will manage this trade as it goes ... nothing more, nothing less. > 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.
