MU sold stock for 52.61 against cost basis of 55.33 for 2.72 per share loss. Took the proceeds and bought a 55 2020 call to create a LEAP calendar. Frees up 40k in cash/margin for other trades.
Now my new cost basis adding in the purchase of the leaps at 10.60 is 13.32. Will sell weeklies against it with goal of decreasing cost to zero at some point. Have 75 weeks left (already have short 55 for next week) so that means only need about 0.17 per week to break even. Anything extra is BONUS.
I may do this more often for #pietrades that move a lot and are taking longer than normal to get back to even but I still want to stay in the ticker. MU has good premiums and want to stay in it but did not want to have 1000 shares tying up so much capital.
May do the same with WDC later in the week.
Will keep posted as to how it works out long term.

Question about Butterfly trade.
I made a mistake with the strikes when buying a butterfly on TSLA.

Is there a risk for holding this trade, other than losing $23?
Is there any benefit for holding this trade?
TOS analyze tab is showing strange numbers.
I tried to close the trade, but no takers so far.

I’m still here…just been a crazy week outside the market so far. Nothing much to do anyway…just letting weeklies wind down for the next sales.

Late post, too busy yesterday and nearly everyday. Work is decreasing my trading profits. s
MU rolled the 55 cc that expires Friday out a week for 0.44 credit. Cost basis now 55.79. 2 more weeks should break even then can decide whether to keep rolling for profits or reset.
I may convert this and WDC when assigned to #fuzzies to free up margin for other #pietrades
