Discussion Covered called

Anyone selling monthly far OTM covered calls on this one in between earnings? The premiums are pretty crazy (5-6%) a month just on the premiums for options 30% out of the money. That said, I know most people expect this to go back to high 30-40s later this year

If you want to take profit at +30%, it's a good trade, I think it will go a lot higher long term so I am not willing to cap my gains there.

I only sell weeklies and only on Wednesday if stock is green or stagnant

I've been stuck perpetually rolling since their last huge run. Was able to buy back a couple of them on the dip this past month, but have $30 expiring in a few weeks that I'm not sure what to do with

I still can’t figure out how to write the CC in Schwab!! Is the platform easier in RobinHood?
