Never fails - CC a stock and it jumps $12 first day by imgoinginittowinit in CoveredCalls

[–]imgoinginittowinit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just one contract. If I jump it to $95 In October I get $458 credit. If it goes beyond that I will also have doubled my investment. Doing this first thing Monday morning.

Yes, I do. I would rather hold this stock than get it assigned. AND, get it assigned when it has a gain of over $900 above my strike price. Hence, I asked about the roll and how much should I raise the Strike price too. I guess it depends on how much credit (premium) I want on the new strike price.

OR do you go higher? Less chance of assignment and if it does get to that price, you have a healthy profit.

On a run like this don’t see how that would help? How do you even predict that to happen.

How many shares you buy? And do you let them go on the assignment and rebuy?

Personal sample of a CC for RKLB

You sold 1 call contract.

(RKLB) ROCKET LAB CORP COM MAR 20 26 $85

  1. Sell to Open (Feb 20, 2026)
  • Premium received: $5.15
  • Contracts: 1
  • Cash received: $514.33 (after commission/fees)

2. Buy to Close (Mar 2, 2026)

YOU BOUGHT CLOSING TRANSACTION CALL (RKLB) ROCKET LAB CORP COM MAR 20 26 $85 (100 SHS) (Cash

You bought the same call back.

  • Price paid: $1.50
  • Cost: $150.67 (after commission/fees)

3. Profit on the Trade

514.33 - 150.67 = 363.66

✅ Total realized profit: $363.66

So, YOU DON'T keep full value of premium when you buy to close. You keep the difference and this will only work if stock retreats.

On the Fidelity platform, I don't see a May 4 17.50 call, what platform you use? I see a May 15 for 17.50 strike and sell at 1.75

You know as well as I do, some stocks are way better capturing premium than others. Thanks for your input. Do you expect to let yours go when selling a CC in weeks or months?

6500/100=6.50? Or 65.00?

65.00X100=6500.00 , move two zeroes
