Continuation of Covered Calls Position in KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF

Last Friday, the Covered Calls positions in KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (ticker KWEB) closed out-of-the-money. So, the Calls expired and shares remained in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio.  This morning, I decided to continue this Covered Calls position by selling ten $26.50 strike price Call options to roll out to the August 16th, 2024 options expiration date. The transactions-to-date as well as the potential return-on-investment results if this position is assigned on the options expiration date is as follows:
