| PMCC CLOSE OUT | |||||||||
| DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE | |||||||||
| Today, (23) Covered Call contract(s) were bought back on ticker: BITX | |||||||||
| 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF > 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 projections. I bought this option back for $2.1 causing a debit in the position but then SOLD the supporting LEAPS Call Option for a profit as outlined below. | |||||||||
| COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I ENDED THIS TRADE | |||||||||
| WHY I OPENED this PMCC Trade on > 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX) | |||||||||
| You know how we handle this with the Poor Man’s Covered Call: once the stock moves above the strike price, we run the risk of it climbing considerably higher. My LEAPS call option — the foundation of the entire trade — only moves in line with its delta. In this case, the delta was 0.95, so I didn’t want to wake up Friday morning to see the stock jump another three or four dollars and my LEAPS lagging further behind. Remember, when we close the near-term covered call, we pay dollar-for-dollar to close that trade. What makes up the difference is the LEAPS call option itself, plus all of the covered call premiums I’ve collected along the way. If the stock continues climbing, the gap between the stock move and the LEAPS move will only widen based on the delta. That extra cost comes directly out of the premiums I’ve already sold. That’s why we close these trades early: to lock in profits. We’re not greedy — we simply take what the market gives us and then move on to the next opportunity. | |||||||||

| 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 | |||||||||
