| REASONING FOR ROLLING THIS MONEY VS JUST SITTING (FINAL) | |||||||||
| WHY I OPENED this PMCC Trade on > 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX) | |||||||||
| This trade on BITX starts out as a > (17) day trade where Im trying to capture anywhere from 3% - 5% for a monthly Covered Call Trade. This trade will make $1485 dollars which represents 2.84% 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 | |||||||||
| BITX ( 2x Leveraged ETF to Bitcoin) > With Bitcoin pulling back, we’re setting up a 17-day covered call. The goal here is simple: with the poor man’s covered call, we just want to collect as much premium as possible before the stock moves above our strike price and we have to give up our LEAPS call options — ideally at a profit. This is nothing more than a routine trade. I chose the $59.50 strike with the September 12th expiration (17 days out). If the stock gets there, that’s fine — we’d be happy to have the shares called away because the trade would return about 15% cash-on-cash profit. | |||||||||
| With this new Strike Price, what is the projected LEAPS Value? | |||||||||
| If this trades as its projected, I will make money on the LEAPS Call Option > IF my shares are taken at this strike price, my expected LEAPS value will be $31.983231 , my cost basis is $-29.0333333333333 | |||||||||

| LETTING MONEY BUILD THE ACCOUNT SIZE | |||||||||
| Because this is in my non-taxable account I'm just going to use the premium to build the account size to make more premium versus buying dividend paying funds will save that for all my taxable accounts and with no tax implications we're not going to put any money in the tax bucket either | |||||||||
