Opening (IRA): SPY Oct 18th 515 Covered Call... for a 511.00 debit.
Comments: After taking profit, re-upping here out in October, selling the 84 call against long stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 16 delta short put, but with the built-in defense of the short call. Going lower delta here, since I've already realized gains for (basically) September.
There is a divvy to be had in Sept, with the last distribution being 1.76, so this will improve the unsexy ROC %-ages somewhat ... .
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 511.00/share
Max Profit: 4.00 ($400); 5.76 ($576) with dividend, assuming a 1.76 distribution.
ROC at Max: .78% ROC at max; 1.13% ROC (with dividend)
50% Max: 2.00 ($200); 3.76 ($376) (with dividend)
ROC at 50% Max: .39% ROC. 74% ROC (with dividend)
Will generally look to take this off at >50% after the dividend drops or look to roll out in-profit short call to maintain net delta at +25 or less.
