Appointments, phone calls, business meetings, trading, I didn&#8217;t stop all day long.<\/p>\n<p>About a month ago I bought a new, professional espresso machine. Today was &#8220;National Espresso Day&#8221; lol. go figure! There&#8217;s a holiday for everything. Well, before the end of the trading, to complicate my day, my house was invaded by friends for espresso lol.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I had a bunch of trades placed but not filled. While we were drinking espresso my orders started getting filled. I did not have time to report the trades so I&#8217;m doing it now. I already reported 3 trades earlier, and here are 4 more that were filled during my coffee hour.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a crazy November. It could end up being the biggest November DOW move since the 1980&#8217;s. How much more can it go? With this monster move I decided to sell some Naked Calls thinking it might stop. The Naked Call trades below are all electric car makers. They are all a bit Out-of-the-Money for a little comfort but can be In-the-Money very easily. I will watch them closely and I&#8217;m ready to cover at any time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell to Open 2 TSLA 11\/27\/20 $530.00 C @ $10.00 (+$2000)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell to Open 10 NKLA 11\/27\/20 $31.00 C @ 65\u00a2 (+$650)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell to Open 10 NIO 11\/27\/20 $60.00 C @ $1.00 (+$1000)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The electric car makers are all hot. I hope they start cooling off tomorrow morning. If not I&#8217;ll be covering these Calls. But in the meantime all these trades get a <strong>Risk Factor 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>I own 400 shares of Zoom (ZM). I bought the shares at different times and my average cost is $508 per share. The stock is down from that so I&#8217;m bringing in what I can. I sold 4 ZM 11\/27\/20 $510 Calls for a premium of $1 for $400. I didn&#8217;t want to go to the Strike of $510 but this stock can be a big mover any time. If I picked a lower Strike Price for a better premium there&#8217;s a chance of getting assigned at a price lower than my buy-in price making to lose money on the stock sale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell to Open 4 ZM 11\/27\/20 $510.00 C @ $1.00 (+$400)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll take the $400 while I wait for the stock to rebound. This is a Covered Call on previously owned stock so the trade gets a <strong>Risk Factor 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Successful trading,<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p>\n<p><em>The Options Coach<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had an extremely busy day, and quite stressful!
