Established Covered Calls in Nvidia Corporation

This morning a short-term Covered Calls position was established in Nvidia Corporation (ticker NVDA). Two hundred shares were purchased at $107.08 and two September 13th, 2024 weekly Call options were sold at the $105.00 strike price at $4.22 per share--a buy/write net debit transaction of $102.86 per share which provides a $2.14 per share time value profit potential.  As I prefer, the next quarterly earnings report on November 26th is after the September 13th options expiration date. 

As detailed below, a potential return-on-investment result is +2.1% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +84.5% annualized return-on-investment for the next 9 days) if the Nvidia share price is in-the-money (i.e. above the $105.00 strike price) and therefore assigned on its September 13th, 2024 options expiration date.
