| WHY I OPENED THIS PMCC TRADE | |||||||||
| Trying to keep this trade alive and making monthly premiums, we sell this short call and do have hopes of the shares being taken ... making this a green trade all around > Where does my LEAPS currently stand? (+) > The stock is trading above what would be my 'cost basis' for the shares (ie, the LEAPS is up) so if my shares are taken I will make money on the LEAPS Call Option | |||||||||
| USING THIS LEAPS CALL OPTION, HOW MUCH PREMIUM ? | |||||||||
| If my shares are taken, that means the stock has moved above my strike price of $79 which means I will make both the Covered Call Premium of $1050 and I will basically have to SELL my LEAPS call option which is projected to be priced at $12.43 making a profit | |||||||||

| DETAILS OF THE LEAPS CALL OPTION I PURCHASED | |||||||||
| Below is the LEAPS Call Option purchase information. The performance part is based on a DELTA MOVE in the LEAPS vs the ACTUAL stock move so the numbers are as close as I can get them as DELTAs can change | |||||||||
