TRADE RATIONALE

Well, that was fast. Three weeks ago, I opened a long position in Xerox stock and the July 19 Xerox call option at the $19 strike with a limit price of $3. As of this morning, we have achieved our target return for each trade so I am closing them out. Earlier today, Xerox upgraded its earnings guidance for 2019. The stock jumped more than 8% as a result, above our target price of $25. Who knows, perhaps XRX will head even higher but as flukey as this market is, I’m booking my gain while it’s there for the taking!

Jim, the XRX Jul 19 P 19 can be bought back for half of cost. What is your recommendation? Buy back or hold?
Thanks.

Hi DL. Funny you ask, I’ve been looking at it today wondering the same thing. I am leaning towards closing it out this week since XRX has been so volatile. If I do, I’ll issue an Alert for Income Millionaire since that is where that trade was made.
