| COVERED CALL | |||||||||
| DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE | |||||||||
| Today I CLOSED a Covered Call position on (AMZU) | |||||||||
| We were able to buy back this option for a mere two pennies. We closed the trade by selling the shares immediately, and we’re going to make well over $600 on this trade. This went well, although it was choppy at times, and we even endured a special late return-of-capital distribution. We adjusted all of our cost basis and were able to get out at $32.80, which was our cost basis for the shares. This is another great 30-day trade using a 2x leveraged ETF on MAG7 Amazon, and I’m going to do it again. We do not roll. We cash out, and we’ll do it again. | |||||||||

| AMZU (2x Leveraged ETF to Amazon) > Amazon has been treading near its lows and when the markets fell last week this traded at $33/32 for a mere 2 days and it bounced ... I have not problem holding this for the next 30 days with Christmas shopping season coming ... I feel good with this trade | |||||||||

| GOLDEN RULES OF COVERED CALL WRITING (AVOIDING EARNINGS) | |||||||||
| WILL THEY HAVE EARNINGS? | NO | ||||||||
| Try to avoid Earnings Reports > Earnings can be a stocks most volitile moment so its important to try to avoid writing a covered call thru or near earnings. Even great stocks can move +/- 10% on earnings | |||||||||
| GOLDEN RULES OF COVERED CALL WRITING (DIVIDEND EX-DATE) | |||||||||
| WILL COMPANY HAVE AN EX-DATE | NO | ||||||||
| Try to avoid EX-Dates > Companies that have dividends will trade differently in and around its EX-Date ... keep this in mind when writing a covered call as you might have your shares taken if its profitable for the Call Buyer. | |||||||||
| -50% , -10% RULES (PRICES WHEN I MIGHT BUY BACK) | |||||||||
| Premium | -50% Rule | 10% Rule | |||||||
| $2.15 | $1.08 | $0.22 | |||||||
| What does this mean? If within the first week the option falls 50% I will buy back the option and look to roll for another credit ... if the option falls to 10% of the value, I will buy back and roll. | |||||||||
| WHAT IF MY SHARES ARE TAKEN | |||||||||
| What if my shares were expectedly taken on this trade prior to expiration or I didn't manage it correctly by ending the trade early if I didn't want my shares taken prior to the expire date? | |||||||||
| Cost Basis - per share | Shares taken | I would Profit or Lose this | |||||||

| MY COST BASIS ON THESE SHARES | |||||||||
| Cost Basis - shares | Acquired? | Shares | Total Cost | ||||||
| $34.00 | ASSIGNED | 300 | $10,200.00 | ||||||
| How much (if any) am I down on the shares ? | -$237.00 | ||||||||
| What does this mean? I'm currently DOWN on the shares purchase by this much ... I DO NOT use CC Prems for cost basis reduction ... so this is what I down on the stock right now or as of this trade | |||||||||
 | HOW YOU WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS TRADE | | |||||||
| BUY SHARES > SELL CALL | |||||||||
| For this trade, I already own the shares, so my total profit may or may not include stock appreciation. In your case, you would purchase the shares outright at the current trading price I’ve provided. You would then proceed to sell a near-term covered call, aiming to achieve the same premium for the same strike price and expiration date. | |||||||||
| OF COURSE, this is all projected and the final results could have you LOSING MONEY. Ensure you understand this trade and that it meets your risk tolerance. I wish you good luck. | |||||||||
