With these shares, the last few weeks, I sold a few Covered Calls. My first Call I did a &#8220;Buy to Close&#8221; for a nice profit. Last week I held the Call I sold until expiration, didn&#8217;t get assigned, and kept another premium. This week with earning coming out and the stock up at $105.15 I decided to sell the shares with a nice profit. After bringing in some nice premiums I sold the stock with a $4.15 profit and a total gain of $4150.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">11\/20\/17 \u2013 Buy 1000 Shares RH @ $101.00<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">12\/4\/17 \u2013 Sell 1000 Shares RH @ $105.15<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> Profit +$4150<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>SNAP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago I sold a $14 PUT on SNAP.
