Established Covered Call in NVIDIA Corporation

A short-term Covered Call position of 11 days duration was established yesterday in NVIDIA Corporation (ticker NVDA).  My net buy/write limit order at $180.89 was executed by simultaneously purchasing one hundred shares at $186.29 and selling one January 9th, 2026 weekly Call option at the $185.00 strike price at $5.40 per share, which provides a $4.11 per share = [$5.40 Call option premium received - ($186.29 stock purchase price - $185.00 option strike price)] time value profit potential.  This is the third NVIDIA Covered Call position in my current portfolio with the two prior positions expiring this Friday (on 1/2/2026).  Since NVIDIA is my #1 preferred megacap tech company investment at present, this new position continues my recent practice of having a NVIDIA Covered Call position expiring each week.  A slightly in-the-money Covered Call position was established for this new position with the probability that NVIDIA's stock will close in-the-money on the 1/9/2026 options expiration date was approximately 53.5% when this transaction was executed.  As I prefer, the next earnings report on February 25th, 2026 is after the 1/9/2026 options expiration date. 

As detailed below, a potential return-on-investment result is +2.3% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +75.3% annualized return-on-investment for the next 11 days) if NVIDIA's share price is in-the-money (i.e. above the $185.00 strike price) and therefore assigned on its January 9th, 2026 options expiration date.
