Earnings coming up soon and I like JD overall. Low part of the range after a great 2017.
I went with a synthetic covered call, selling the Aug17 $39 put for $1.90 cr. This trade is around a 5% cash ROC within the next 35 days.
I'll go for 50% W or continue rolling this position out, collecting credit through time.

Rolled out to the Sep21 $39 put for an add'l $.41 cr to reduce my basis and increase duration. Realized around -$100 on the roll, so we'll have to keep that in mind.
Trade aktif:
Rolling out the $39 put again for add'l $.19 cr in Oct19 cycle.

Trade is starting to look like a longer term hold, which is alright with me. The extrinsic in Oct19 cycle is disappearing quickly, so I had to roll this out to Dec21 cycle for add'l $.23 cr.
I am willing to hold long term, but I'd rather hold as short puts than shares (20% BPR vs 50% BPR), so I can continue to use capital else where. My overall basis across the accounts is $36.27.
I'm hesitant to sell naked calls against it right now (as I'm not put the shares yet), but it may be something I look into down the road.
