DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today a NEW Covered Call position was opened using Covered Call (ticker: LVS)

COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this CCW on LVS > With LVS (Sands) moving a bit higher close to my $50.15 cost basis, just writing another krum CC for ~$270 ... and continue to take those CC profits and buy Closed End Funds that pay monthly dividends to keep my money tree garden growing for passive income.> STOCK (=) > The stock is trading ~even with what would be my 'cost basis' for the shares, so if my shares are taken I will ~break even on the stock sale.
> 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.

PROJECTED PREMIUM + DIVIDEND ONLY POTENTIAL (CCW PREM + DIV)
