REASONING FOR ROLLING THIS MONEY VS JUST SITTING (FINAL)
WHY I OPENED this PMCC Trade on > Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X ETF (LABU)
This trade on LABU starts out as a > (16) day trade where Im trying to capture anywhere from 3% - 5% for a monthly Covered Call Trade. This trade will make $3600 dollars which represents 3.17% 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
LABU (3x Leveraged ETF to the S&P500 Bio Techs ) > The markets are basically waiting for the Mag-7 stocks to announce, LABU hit $212 and Im sure wall street rotated out of biotechs and moved into tech stocks ... this week should show that should big tech miss, wall street will come back to biotechs and LABU might find itself back near this strike come next week.

NOTE: I have ADDED (2) LEAPS Call Options in support of this trade to reduce my break even ... see the blog post for the details
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 $126.25 , my cost basis is $-126.24
