here is our trade setup:
SLD 1 LI MAY 21 '21 19.5 Call Option 0.17 USD
what can happen next:
LI is trading below our strike price of $19.5 at the expiry date (May 21, 2021), in such case, we keep the premium and sell more covered calls to lower our cost basis.
In case LI is trading above our strike price of $18.5, our 100 shares get called away at the strike price of $19.5 and we realize our max gain, -$086.6 or negative -28.59% potential income loss in 123 days
In the case of strike price $19.5 will get challenged - we are going to roll up and forward for a credit
Break-even: $29.46
