Last week I sold 10 contracts of Weight Watchers (WW) Naked Calls. The stock stayed below my Strike Price and the Call expired.<\/p>\n

Today WW is down again. I\u2019m not so sure it will continue down for the next 4 days so my strategy is a little different this week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With the stock at $39.25, down about $2, I sold 10 $39.50 Naked Calls. I had full intentions of buying the stock to make a Covered Call but after I sold the Call the stock continued down. So as I write I\u2019m still Naked.<\/p>\n

Sell to Open 10 WW 1\/24\/20 $39.50 C @ $1.00 (+$1000)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would love to stay Naked but I think the stock will rebound this week. With this in mind I placed a \u201cBuy Stop\u201d at $39.40. If the stock gets up to #39.40 I\u2019ll buy the stock and this will be a Covered Call.<\/p>\n

This trade get a Risk Factor 3. I do have the Buy order in but if the stock shoots up over night I could get burned because my \u201cBuy Stop\u201d order will not get filled when the market is closed. I feel the premium was worth a little risk. The $1.00 premium on a $39.25 stock is a 2.5% return for the premium only.<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m still waiting to get a Call sold on my 200 Apple shares.<\/p>\n

Successful trading,<\/p>\n
