\"\"<\/a>With the market on a roll and Microsoft (MSFT) a very hot stock, I bought 10 of the stocks Calls.<\/p>\n

MSFT has been on an upward trend for years now. It\u2019s one of the best stocks to own! I\u2019ll be writing more about MSFT when I get my Wealth Builder<\/a> <\/span>section going. For right now I\u2019m reporting that I bought 10 contracts of the MSFT 1\/17\/20 $145 Calls @ $4.50.<\/p>\n

Buy to Open 10 MSFT 1\/17\/20 $145.00 C @ $4.50 ($4500)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Call expires in January but I plan on holding for about a month or until I\u2019m up 25%. That would be a profit of $1125. To do this my premium will have to go up from $4.50 to $5.62. Let\u2019s watch and see how MSFT does. This is a Long Call Option, which are risky, so I give this trade a Risk Factor 3<\/strong>. If I went with a closer Expiration Date it would have been a Risk Factor 4 or 5 because of Time Decay<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

I had a feeling I\u2019d get another trade in lol. But this is the only trade I made today that doesn\u2019t expire today. This will be longer term.<\/p>\n

I also have an order to sell a Call on Square. I\u2019ll let you know what happens. I\u2019m going for a premium of 50\u00a2 but I might have to lower it to 45\u00a2 if I decide I really want it.<\/p>\n

Successful Trading,<\/p>\n
