I bought 100 shares at $185.70 per share, which cost me $18,570, and I sold a 1 contract, $187.50 Call for a premium of $2.80. This trade is a 1 week trade and I received a premium with a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mainstbeatswallst.com\/?page_id=379\">Rate of Return<\/a><\/span> of 1.5%.

I invested $18,570 and received a premium of $280. That\u2019s a 1.5% return for a 1 week trade. This is a perfect example of a Grasshopper trade. Not only is it a 1 week trade bringing in a 1.5% return but it\u2019s with a very good stock. This trade gets a <strong>Risk Factor 1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If NVDA closes below $187.50 on Apr 26th I keep my stock and I keep the $280 premium. If the stock closes above $187.50 I\u2019ll get assigned and I\u2019ll keep the $280 premium. If I get assigned I\u2019ll sell the stock at $187.50 and make an additional $1.80 per share, $180. If this happens, which I think it will, my total gain will be $460. That will be a return of 2.4% return in 1 week on my $18,570 invested. Try to get that from a bank!<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p>\n<p><em>The Options Coach<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 I just did a \u201cBuy-write\u201d with Nvidia (NVDA).
