The first 100 shares I bought on Oct 30th and sold a Call. I already reported entering that trade. This position I still hold.\u00a0The new 100 shares I bought on Nov 4th with the stock at $46 and today I sold a Call. I sold 1 PLTR 11\/8\/24 $55 Call for a premium of 50\u00a2 for a premium of $50. I held the stock a few days without selling a Call because I felt strongly about the stock moving up from the election results. Today with the stock down I decided to get a Call sold. It&#8217;s not a huge premium but it is a little over 1% for a 1 day trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>11\/4\/24 \u2013 Buy 100 Shares PLTR @ $46.00\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>11\/7\/24 \u2013 Sell to Open 1 PLTR 11\/8\/24 $55.00 C @ 50\u00a2 (+$50)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember, It&#8217;s all about the percentage return not the amount of the return.
