This is a Covered Call.<\/p>\n<p>Since Sept I\u2019ve been bringing in some nice money with Micron (MU).<\/p>\n<p>On 9\/5 I sold a Call that I bought in July. This was a $1000 gain. On 9\/4 I sold a 10 contract Call for a $750 gain. I bought a 10 contract Call on 7\/18 and sold it on 9\/16 for a $3000 gain. On 9\/27 I sold a Call that I bought on 7\/18, another $1000 gain. These few trades brought in a total of $5750.<\/p>\n<p>On 9\/6 I bought 500 shares of the stock to hold because the stock was moving well. On 9\/30 I started selling Calls on these shares to bring in some money. On 9\/30 I sold a Call for $225, on 10\/28 I sold one for $500, and on 11\/4 I sold one for $300. Remember, these were only 5 contracts Calls. On these 3 Calls I brought in another $1025.<\/p>\n<p>Today I just sold another 5 contract Call with a premium of $1.20. The 5 contract Call had a $600 premium.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0Sell to Open 5 MU 12\/20\/19 $49.50 C @ 1.20 (+$600)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I know this is December and I said I\u2019m not trading but I own these shares so I might as well bring in some premiums. Micron comes out with earnings on 12\/18, before this expiration. The stock could go up, or it could go down. It really did not affect my decision to sell this Call. The stock is below where I bought so I would own the shares anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is, I\u2019ve had a great run with Micron. I brought is the $5750 listed above, the $1025 by selling the 3 Calls listed above, and now another $600. That\u2019s a total of $7375 in a few months with one stock. That\u2019s the potential of the market! And if I get assigned I\u2019ll make a few more hundred.<\/p>\n<p>I hope everyone is reading all the pages of the Wealth Builder.<\/p>\n<p>Successful trading,<\/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>I just sold a 5 contract Call on Micron.
