BTO 4 Calls of Home Depot on May 01, 2020.
Stock Price--$218.18
Expiration: May 15, 2020 (May standard)
Strike: $220.00
Cost of Trade/Ask Price: $5.45
This one is going to be a quick turn around due to short term Expiration. I think HD is good for the long term, but I chose this short term position for three reasons:
(1) Affordability--Go too deep In The Money and it gets expensive really fast
(2) Price of Stock proximity to Strike at time of position entry--Just a touch over two dollars puts me In The Money meaning a higher ROI in a
shorter amount of time
(3) Bid-Ask Spread price--I looked at the Spreads of other Expirations and other Strikes and didn't like them. This Spread at time of position
entry was thirty cents ($0.30 or a $5.15 x $5.45 Spread). Most other Spreads on other Strikes were a couple dollars apart.

Trade closed manually
Sold all 4 Contracts for $6.55 Bid price on a Limit Sell order. I think Home Depot will continue to be bullish long term. I exited because short term, in my opinion, is always more potentially volatile, and I was content to take 10% profits (I include expenses/fees/commissions, etc. in my P/L calculations) and start hunting for the next target.
