Apple (AAPL) is trading well above the strike price of our call. I am recommending we spend some cash to roll out two weeks and to a higher strike to capture another $2 in potential appreciation.
Note that the company is expected to report earnings on April 28, and we will likely be holding this position through the announcement.
I am also recommending we roll our General Motors (GM) call to a lower strike to generate more income while keeping the expiration date the same.
If you are not currently in an AAPL and/or GM position, please sit these out. I will alert you when it’s time to put new money to work.
Note that no action is needed on our Chewy (CHWY) Apr Week Four (4/23) 77 Put or Twitter (TWTR) Apr Week Four (4/23) 66 Put at this time.
