| Today I CLOSED this Covered Call position on (SOXL) | |||||||||
| wake up and SOXL is down, so this option falls way under value so we buy back and look to ROLL ... might even do an Apr-10th at my cost basis ... we will see. | |||||||||
| This trade makes $1,050 in Covered Call Premium. SOXL fell which due to the time remaining in the option warranted an early buy back of the option. This would represent 2% on money invested. | |||||||||

| 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 | |||||||||

| Further commentary as to why I opened this trade > | |||||||||
| SOXL (3x Leveraged ETF to the Semiconductors ) > we keep using our cost basis and now hoping to get out at $52.50 ... hoping it moves higher, takes me out, we can find another trade or even use SOXL again... but want this trade to come clean | |||||||||
| > 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. | |||||||||

| 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. | |||||||||

| 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. | |||||||||

 | 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. | |||||||||
