Comments: Selling the -85 call against stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 15 delta short put with the built-in defense of the short call.
Here, primarily just looking to capture the next little increment of up move I missed out on with my 220 covered call.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 221.96 Max Profit: 3.04 ROC at Max: 1.37% 50% Max: 1.52 ROC at 50% Max: .69%
Trade active
Rolling the in-profit December 20th 225 to the January 17th 225 for a 1.77 credit; 220.19 break even. The primary reason I'm doing this is because SMH pays a dividend in December (and only in December), and I want to attempt to grab that before hitting the exit.
Trade closed: target reached
Hit 50% max today, closing for a 222.60 credit. 2.41 ($241) profit. May re-up in an attempt to grab that December dividend.
