Opening (IRA): GDX Dec 20th 36 Covered Call... for a 35.29 debit.
Comments: Selling the -75 delta call against stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with the built-in defense of the short call.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 35.29/share
Max Profit: .71
ROC at Max: 2.01%
50% Max: .36
ROC at 50% Max: 1.00%
That 1.00% ROC at 50% max is kind of "marginal," but just trying to keep theta on and burning with little stuff that I can add to should I have the opportunity to get in in higher IV/weakness.
