Still appears weak on the chart. Personally I'd wait until it can get back over the 50DMA.Lt. Joe Bookman said:
Anyone like $ELY (Callaway Golf)?
This stock has been a fun play from the initial "sell the news" drop when they announced the merger with Top Golf. Ever since then it's kept a nice channel between 32 and 27ish

BTWN - April 16, 12.50
UPWK - April 16, 55
Both are at a significant discount from last week if you want in.

Probably should've worded it like the bulls went to sleep and decided to stay there.$30,000 Millionaire said:on a day we're up 2%? c'mon now.deadbq03 said:

The market naturally ebbs and flows. It doesn't move in one direction continuously without these waves. Nobody knows what tomorrow brings, but assuming we don't puke here, this is a solid close for the nasdaq and the S&P.deadbq03 said:Probably should've worded it like the bulls went to sleep and decided to stay there.$30,000 Millionaire said:on a day we're up 2%? c'mon now.deadbq03 said:

Either way, we've had the flattest couple of hours we've had in a long time but now it's moving back down. No idea what that means for tomorrow's open, your guess is probably better than mine.
For me, if the strike is above my basis, when I can capture 75% or more of my premium, don't feel like it will get any higher than that, and I don't want to take the small chance of losing shares.Ragoo said:
When do you typically buy back covered calls versus letting them run to expiration?
Bull case is still fully intact with a close over 317.5. Today the QQQ reclaimed the 10DMA and the 5DMA and got rejected at the 50DMA very slowly. It wasn't a hard rejection which means there is consolidation up here. We're 1.5pts off the HOD and 4pts from the LOD.deadbq03 said:Probably should've worded it like the bulls went to sleep and decided to stay there.$30,000 Millionaire said:on a day we're up 2%? c'mon now.deadbq03 said:

i took one set off at 65%. These were for April expiration. If there is a pop I will sell them again at the appropriate strike. Now I wait.mazag08 said:For me, if the strike is above my basis, when I can capture 75% or more of my premium, don't feel like it will get any higher than that, and I don't want to take the small chance of losing shares.Ragoo said:

That's another reason to do it.. if you think they will go higher than your original call value and you want to lock in premium now while giving yourself a chance to capture a larger chunk. But that move is often very risky if your strike is relatively safe. It works well with high IV stocks like SNDL. Just make sure you pay attention to theta. It will eat you alive the closer you get.Ragoo said:i took one set off at 65%. These were for April expiration. If there is a pop I will sell them again at the appropriate strike.

it is tough because the call, ie: being short, is working in your favor but your underlying is also falling. So now you have the mental battle of taking money out of my pocket to buy back "protection" on an asset that is losing value.$30,000 Millionaire said:
when to buy back covered calls is complicated. If there is a lot of time left, i'll take them between 75-80% of max profit. If time is short, I make judgment calls on whether to hold out for every nickel or go for 90-95% of max. Normally 90-95% of max is good enough for me. I did hold WWR and SNDL to the bitter end on Friday.

My prediction for tomorrow's open will be a slight red to flat open on the futures with another move to the 50DMA on the QQQ.
