NEP $2.5 calls: Yes I see the time premium is low.
My plan was to hold the stock for at least a year and a day for lower cap gains. You will pay short term cap gains on your profit though right? So I take it that you feel that the higher tax hit is an acceptable cost vs holding the underlying for over a year? Will you be reentering the position after you close the calls or are you planning to exercise the options at expiration? Just curious as I tend to just buy the underlying if it is cheap enough and would like to know if I should change my strategy to look at option plays for low priced stocks more often.
