Deep ITM Positions

20 Covered Call positions expiring this week.
Some are well ITM.
It's interesting to me how some that are so ITM, >25%, actually have a debit to roll them into the next week at the same strike.
I either have to go pretty far out, or commit more cash to the position by rolling out and up on the strike.

Humph...

 

Possible reasons:
1-Wide spreads
2-Dividend payment next week.

 

If you have them covered, just let them get called away. Would your stocks be in profit from the assignment?

 

Yes.

 

Would your stocks have produced a higher profit without the CC?

 

Yes.
