 | NEW ITM CCW TRADE |
| | | | | | | | | |
| NEW ITM COVERED CALL TRADE IS NOW | OPEN |
| The 0.99 delta covered call strategy means that instead of purchasing the shares outright, I buy a 2–3 month in-the-money call option (what I refer to as a LEAPS) to simulate stock ownership. The key requirement is that the time value (extrinsic premium) on the LEAPS must be under 0.5%. Additionally, when combining the cost of that time value with the premium received from selling the covered call, the total position must meet my target — a minimum cash-on-cash return of 1.2% per week on an in-the-money covered call basis. |

| DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE |
| Today a NEW Covered Call position was opened using (IREN) |
| When the stock/ETF was trading for $60.91 a share I SOLD (10) Covered Call contract(s) using controlling interest via an ITM LEAPS Call Option (see details below) for (1000) shares for the Jun-12 expiration date, strike price of $56 receiving a premium of $7.21 or $2.3 in Time Value premium, making $2300 in up front cash flow to begin this trade with a LEAPS cost basis of $67.2 which when you combine my LEAPS Strike Price + my LEAPS premium I paid this would make my combined share price cost basis be $60.7 to break even on the trade. |

| COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE |
| WHY I OPENED this CCW on > IREN |
| This IREN (8) day trade , where I'm trying to capture anywhere from 1.2% to 1.6% for a 5 day trade will make me a projected 5.39% Cash on Cash on money invested |
| Power of the 99 Delta ITM Call Option vs Buying the Shares |
| Owning Shares = 3.78% CoC vs 99 Delta ITM Call Option's 5.39% on $ invested |
| Further Commentary as to why I did this trade |
IREN > stock falls because of BTC falling ... IREN > Q3 FY26 cites 76.8% of revenue being due to bitcoin sales. $111.2 million out of the total $144.8 million. IREN is moving OUT of BTC and in AI data centers and with huge investments from MSFT and NVDA so I will use this time and time again

| PROJECTED PROFIT POTENTIAL (CCW PREM ONLY) |
| If this trade goes as planned, I will have my shares taken at my strike price and I will only collect the difference between the Real Money and Time Value which is the plan |
| COST BASIS | STRIKE | PREM | Projected Cash Flow |
| $60.91 | $56.00 | $7.21 | $2,300.00 |
| DAYS ON | INTRINSIC VALUE | TIME VALUE | Cash on Cash % |
| 8 | $4.91 | $2.30 | 5.39% |
| This being an ITM Covered Call ... I did collect the premium of $7.21 but remember that I'm giving away my shares cheaper at $56 so in this case the Time Value premium profit could be $2.3 or $2300 in total premium profit if NO buy back. |

| DELTA | TimeValueCost | % Cost Paid | 99 DELTA Expiration |
| 0.99 | -$0.21 | -0.49% | Jul-17-2026 |

|  | HOW YOU WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS TRADE | | |
|
| ITM CC BUY SHARES > SELL CALL |
| I BOUGHT THE 99 DELTA ITM CALL OPTION, YOU MIGHT BUY THE SHARES |
| 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. |
