Bull Call? It’s a long call that is capped by a short call. Short call is the hedging option. If the underlying stock goes down, we lessen our cost basis thanks to the short call.
Long Call? Go far out in time (1 yr or so), so that if things go the wrong way, it has time to come back. Lessen our cost basis by buying more contracts at a much lower price if it falls.
V Leap Long Calls out to Jan. 2021 $160 Strike @ $17. Gives us time that if Visa pulls back again, we can dollar cost average by buying more contracts at a lower price. When it gets back up, you have more profit and can lower your break even cost basis. If cost basis is 1,700 and V drops to $140, we can buy more contracts for more like $1000-1200.
What looks good today – Leap BA 400 Long call
