| Further commentary and feelings on this trade | |||||||||
GGLL (2x Leveraged ETF to Google) > ADDED 2 LEAPS (same) to this trade with a closer to the money strike ... Google isnt doing what I thought but do feel inside of these 16 days it might move higher and GGLL can reach above $97 and we will be out making ~9% | |||||||||
| 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 $50.46 , my cost basis is $-49.40 | |||||||||
| > 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? | Verify-GGLL | YES | |||||||
| 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 | Verify-GGLL | 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 | |||||||
| $1.25 | $0.63 | $0.13 | |||||||
| 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. | |||||||||
