Rolled-Up Covered Calls in Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

On October 20th, 2021 the Covered Calls Advisor established a Covered Calls position in Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ticker ANF) at the November 19th, 2021 $43.00 strike price.  The price of the 300 ANF shares has increased from the purchase price of $38.07 to $45.63 this morning.   I decided to roll up from the $35.00 strike price to the $43.00 strike and at the same November 19th, 2021 options expiration date.  A vertical debit spread transaction was executed at a net debit of $7.40 ($10.80 - $3.40) per share -- so $.60 time value per share ($43.00 new strike price - $35.00 old strike price - $7.40 net debit) was added to the Covered Calls position profit potential.  The price of Abercrombie & Fitch stock was $45.63 when this roll-up transaction was executed and the Delta of the $43.00 Call options was 77.1 which was close to the 73.7 Delta for the original Covered Calls position when it was established.

A potential return-on-investment result for this Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Covered Calls position is now +4.5% absolute return in 31 days (equivalent to a +53.1% annualized return-on-investment) if the stock price closes above the $43.00 strike price on the November 19th options expiration date. 
By rolling up the original Covered Calls, if assigned on the Nov. 19th expiration date, this result would exceed the +2.8% absolute return (+32.6% annualized) that was the maximum potential roi of the original Covered Calls position at the $35.00 strike price.
