REASONING FOR ROLLING THIS MONEY VS JUST SITTING (FINAL)
WHY I OPENED this PMCC Trade on > Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT)
This trade on VRT starts out as a > (21) day trade where Im trying to capture anywhere from 3% - 5% for a monthly Covered Call Trade. This trade will make $370 dollars which represents 3.01% premium profit on money invested. Should my shares be taken I could make more, break even of lose money based on where my LEAPS Call Option is priced (see below for those calculations)
Further commentary and feelings on this trade
VRT > Closing out my 1st CC , we ROLL this by adding a week to the trade and will just ride this as long as we can.
With this new Strike Price, what is the projected LEAPS Value?
If this trades as its projected, I will lose money on the LEAPS Call Option > IF my shares are taken at this strike price, my expected LEAPS value will be $61.15769 , my cost basis is $-61.47
