OTM calls - just around the corner from OE - no real catalyst within the time span to drive E-trade 30% higher in two days... may as well take what premium there is if it's on the table for the taking...

May I ask you to share with the Community whether these are Covered Calls,or if you are instead "going naked"?  Thanks!

JBManning,

 

I agree. There seems to be little chance that E-Trade will be over $4 by tomorrow night. Of course, anything can happen.

The only catalyst I think that could drive it there would be some sort of M&A announcement. I've been hesitant to write any covered calls for that reason, since it could really come at any time. The upside potential there overrides the premium that one may receive from selling covered calls. I felt fairly safe though w/ 48 hours to go... but, like you said - anything can happen!
