| DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE | |||||||||

| WHY I OPENED this CCW on > GILD > GILD - Right now I'm able to write these $80 strike cover calls basically because that's at the money for me and if my shares were taken away I would profit both on the covered calls and the LEAPS Call Option so this is a $300 crumb I don't expect the stock to get to $80 by July 28th but if it were we will manage this Poor Man's Covered Call appropriately > 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. | |||||||||
