Ok,
Believe it or not, I was able to get the most of the spreadsheet info posted.
Perhaps now you can see how I monitor each one of my stocks, tranactions, and
what if possibilities. Now, I have the $1,947.43 in my account which I'm able
to use to generate more profits with calls on the side of VVUS or any other
opportunity. If the stock starts to take off I can hedge my position by buying
my own calls perhap for an August or September call at or below the strike price
of my CC. I don't like to cover unless there is a dip and I can keep 75% to 80%
of my CC premies intact.
And finally, the end result or rate of return is guess work at this point since it
can go up if I trade the options on the side. Or, VVUS may stall and I don't get
called out. But, it sure beats sitting around and hoping for a profit!
One final note! This position is 50% margined. So, the rate of return is double the
value it reads. What you invest vs. what you get back is the way to calculate your %.
So, since half of it is not my money the profits are much higher. The margin interest
is so small I don't even waste my time trying to count pennies.
