Today is four days prior to Nov2010 options expiration. With the three Intel Corp.(INTC) Nov2010 $20.00 calls well in-the-money, the Covered Calls Advisor decided to roll-up-and-out to the Dec2010 expiration at the $21.00 strike price. The transactions history as well as a potential return-on-investment result is detailed below:
1. Intel Corp.(INTC) -- Continuation Transaction
