| Today a NEW Covered Call position was opened using TNA | |||||||||
| When TNA was trading at $63.5 I decided to do the ITM Covered Call where I selected the $61 strike price and was paid $3.9 in up front premium. This premium includes both intrinsic and extrinsic value where my profit actually equals $1.4 a share or $2025 in cash flow. | |||||||||

| COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE | |||||||||
| WHY I OPENED this CCW on TNA | |||||||||
| TNA (3X Leveraged ETF to the Russell 2000) I believe TNA has been sold off considerably, and that much of the interest-rate concern is already baked into the price of the Russell 2000. With that in mind, we’re going to move forward with this trade. We still have approximately 4% of downside protection, but I’m going to give this one two weeks to percolate and do its thing. As long as TNA stays above our $61 strike, we should be able to exit the trade cleanly. TNA hasn’t traded below $61 since June 9th. In my view, after falling from around $77, a move all the way down toward $61 would represent a significant sell-off and an area where I would personally view the Russell as a buying opportunity. For now, we’ll give the trade some time and let it work. having run the numbers, this trade meets most all of my expectations for a solid start to a covered call campaign. Of course I would love for this to be a one-an-done trade but if I were left holding this position ... the $61 strike/cost basis, based on its chart feels good. > C#_TNA_610 | |||||||||

| When the stock was trading for $34.65 a share , I Sold (70) (OTM) Covered Call contracts(s) using (7,000) shares for the Sep - 18 Expiration Date, $37.00 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $1.45 or $10,150 in upfront cash flow. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Further commentary as to why I opened this trade | |||||||||||||||||||
AMZU (2x Leveraged ETF to Amazon) adding 20 contracts to this trade , using the OTM $37 for these contracts we just use this moment where AMZN is trading lower ... were using the cost basis of $37 hoping to have the stock move above it by Oct-16th ... this is another 'set it and forget it' trade as I feel AMZN should move higher allowing me exit this trade 100% max profit for the time frame.  | |||||||||||||||||||

| GOLDEN RULES OF COVERED CALL WRITING (AVOIDING EARNINGS) | |||||||||||||||||||
| WILL THEY HAVE EARNINGS? | NO | ||||||||||||||||||
| WILL COMPANY HAVE AN EX-DATE | NO | ||||||||||||||||||
| Try to avoid Earnings Reports > Earnings can be a stocks most volatile moment so its important to try to avoid writing a covered call thru or near earnings. Even great stocks can move +/- 10% on earnings > 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. | |||||||||||||||||||
