COVERED CALL
DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today, (20) Covered Call contract(s) were bought back on Las Vegas Sands Corp. (ticker: LVS) Because I bought this option back early, I did not make max profit. The final profit / cash flow collected is posted below. Note, instead of making the original premium profit projection of ~$0.75 per share or $1,500, I collected less which equaled ~$880 of the total projected cash flow for this trade.

COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I CLOSED this PMCC CCW Trade > LVS > I decided to take this trade off the board early because Las Vegas Sands has earnings tomorrow and what I'd like to do is pocket this $880 then sit back and wait as I think Sands will probably move higher on earnings and then I can write a covered call where the strike price could possibly be in the 50s so I'm taking a risk giving up $660 in the hopes that after earnings tomorrow the stock will move a bit higher and then I can write a covered call into November possibly closing the entire position at a profit

> 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.
