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 , its a green day so we make this little krum trade ... take notice, IF my shares are taken in some crazy event (this would suck as my CB is $129) this overall trade would make me money... not much but it would be green ... that will NOT happen as I will manage this trade not allowing my shares to be taken at this strike (crossing fingers I can manage this, not adding to my CB)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.

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
