I am recommending we roll our Bank of America (BAC) and Pfizer (PFE) calls out one week to generate more income and reduce our cost basis on the positions.
PFE has rallied this week and is currently trading above our call’s strike. Today, the Food and Drug Administration said it will recommend that an omicron-fighting component is included in updated COVID-19 boosters this fall. That’s good news for Pfizer, which earlier this week released positive data on two omicron-adapted vaccine candidates.
Note that these trades are only for members who are already in the positions.
