WHY I OPENED this CCW on > VLO > I seem to be cherry-picking as one day it'll be up next it'll be down next it'll be up next it'll be down so I keep writing these covered calls with these deep out of the money strikes , inevitably , buying them back pocketing $300 and $400 each time , I ultimately believe the stock moves back to my cost basis of $129 I'm just going to keep collecting these 30-day cover call premiums as we use the stock for positive cash flow until the entire position becomes green> 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.

WHAT IF MY SHARES ARE TAKEN

$129.00$124.00-$5,000.00

SHARES TAKEN - I WILL LOSS money on the shares but will make money on all the Covered Calls I've sold, this will be an OVERALL profitable trade. as my share cost basis equals the strike price

General plan for my Covered Call Write Cash on Cash % investments > I like to generate a 3% Cash on Cash return on my money invested ... depending on the timeframe ... 1 week, 1% is ok but if 30 days I want more like 3 to 4% preferred
