Roll Forward and Up 1 Covered Call on VXRT stock - Potential income return 33.78% in 91 days
On July 21, 2022, I rolled forward and rolled upĀ 1 covered call on the VXRT stock (NASDAQ: VXRT) with a new expiry date of August 19, 2022.
I have been in this trade since May 31, 2022, when bought 100 shares at $3.70
With VXRT trading near my strike price I decided to close the position and roll up for a credit.
here is the trade setup:
BOT 1 VXRT Jul22'22 4 CALL 0.23 USD
SLD 1 VXRT Aug19'22 4.5 CALL 0.41 USD
I bought back the $4 call option paying $23 and sold a new call option with a higher strike price ($4.5) and an expiry set for the end of August. For this trade, I got $41 (before commissions)
What happens next?
On the expiry date,Ā August 19, 2022, VXRT is trading at under $4.5 per share -Ā options expire worthlesslyĀ and I keep premium and start over - if VXRT trades above $4.5 on the expiry date, my 100 shares willĀ get called away and I will realize a profit of $125 ($70 value gain and +$55 options premium) or potential income of +33.78% in 91 day
Break-even price: $3.7-$0.55= $3.15
