Hello everyone! Brand new here and to options. I would like to do my first covered call option on AAL. My cost per share is $15.32. Can anybody advise on best strike price and expiration? My thoughts are $17 and Feb. 19th. Thanks!
You can really do any variety you like. For me with the covered calls I like to give the stock room to run if I don't mind being called away. At 19 you're up 300 plus on the stock plus the $45. I put in a GTC to buy back the call at 50% max profit and then just reestablish the position another 45 DTE and repeat. When I think it's run enough let it be called way. Gives me a longer hold maybe a chance at a dividend if it pays one. Not so much on the airlines these days.
Thank-you for your reply! I ended up selling covered call APXT at $20.00 strike and March 19th @ 1.80.
