COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this CSP on > FAS > MARKETS in general are being stable today, FAS has fallen to a mid spot where I feel it could go lower but giving this trade about 15 days to work its way until I either get assigned of not, we will watch it and if assigned, we'll do a covered call ... basically modified WHEEL trade here.
> as with every trade, 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.
THIS TRADE WAS PLACED INSIDE MY NON-TAXABLE IRA ACCOUNT
NO EARNINGS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME
NO EX-DIVIDEND DATE DURING THIS TIMEFRAME
PROJECTED PROFIT POTENIAL (CSP PREM ONLY)
