Projected Cash Flow
$840.00
WHY I OPENED this CCW on > VLO > Just watching the price action on VLO with no earnings and no dividend and the markets being a bit stable I see this is an opportunity to pick up a little 84 Cent crumb as we watch the stock base and possibly move higher will manage the trade as my cost basis is $129 a share I feel this strike price will not be challenged in the time frame I picked> 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.
