Here is the trade setup:
BOT 500 FCEL Stock 6.50 USD (assigned)
SLD 5 FCEL SEP 10 '21 7 Call Option 0.46 USD
For this trade, I got a premium of 218 USD (after commissions). In case my strike price will be reached on the expiry date I will realize a 19.96% potential income return in 53 days
I decided to roll up a bit my strike price from $6.5 to $7
What happens next?
On the expiry date, September 2021, FCEL is trading above $7 per share - my 500 shares get called away and I realize my max return
If the strike price will not be reached, I will roll forward these contracts and collect more premiums.
The Break-even price for this trade = $5.71
From the premiums received I bought additional 17 shares with AWP stock. This purchase will contribute to my dividend portfolio an additional $0.57 every month. Awesome
