Yesterday, Feb 22, 10, I sold 8 ETFC Jul10 2 Calls for a net deposit of $63.89 in an IRA account. My basis for these ETFC shares is now 17.01.
I believe I said in an earlier post that I am willing to let ETFC go at the $2 strike price. ETFC does not meet my goals for a stock as it does not pay a dividend and has a low option yield. I sell the $2 strike with the idea that I will milk it as long as possible, which may include rolling out at the same strike or up if possible as long as the transaction will result in a net deposit into my account. Sooner or later ETFC will be out of my accounts.
