๐ My Covered Call Strategy on PLTR
I first started selling a covered call on Palantir (PLTR) at a $68 strike price, collecting a premium of $1.69 per share. At the same time, I bought the stock for $67.87, setting up a strategic trade that balances income generation and potential upside.
๐น My Thought Process:
1๏ธโฃ Lowering My Cost Basis ๐ฐ โ By selling the call for $1.69, I effectively reduce my purchase price from $67.87 to $66.18 ($67.87 - $1.69). This provides an immediate cushion against any short-term volatility.
2๏ธโฃ Profiting If Called Away ๐ โ If PLTR closes above $68 at expiration, my shares will be called away. This means Iโll sell at $68, but since I already collected $1.69 in premium, my effective sell price becomes $69.69 โ locking in a 1.82% gain in a short period.
3๏ธโฃ Generating Passive Income ๐ก๏ธ โ PLTR is volatile, but instead of just holding, I prefer to monetize my shares by selling covered calls, earning income regardless of short-term price swings.
4๏ธโฃ Managing Risk in a Hot Stock ๐ โ With PLTR being a high-momentum stock, covered calls allow me to capture gains while maintaining some level of downside protection.
5๏ธโฃ Flexibility to Adjust ๐ โ If PLTR stays below $68, I can roll the call to a future date or sell another call, continuing to generate premium income without losing my shares.
๐ Final Thoughts โ A Smart, Income-Generating Play
This covered call strategy ensures Iโm getting paid while holding PLTR, reducing risk, and positioning myself for potentially higher returns. Whether my shares are called away or not, Iโm maximizing my profitability while staying flexible in this trade! ๐ฐ๐$PLTR 20250117 68.0 CALL$
