Established Covered Calls in NVIDIA Corporation

This morning a two-week Covered Calls position was established in NVIDIA Corporation (ticker NVDA).  My net buy/write limit order at $190.96 was executed by simultaneously purchasing two hundred shares at $204.46 and selling two November 14th, 2025 weekly Call options at the $195.00 strike price at $13.50 per share, which provides a $4.04 per share = [$13.50 Call options premium received - ($204.46 stock purchase price - $195.00 options strike price)] time value profit potential.  This continues my process of establishing ongoing NVIDIA in-the-money Covered Calls for each weekly options expiration date.  The probability that NVIDIA's stock will close in-the-money on the 11/14/2025 options expiration date was 67.4% and this expiration avoids NVIDIA's upcoming earnings report on November 19th, 2025. 

As detailed below, a potential return-on-investment result is +2.1% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +51.4% annualized return-on-investment for the next 15 days) if NVIDIA's share price is in-the-money (i.e. above the $195.00 strike price) and therefore assigned on its November 14th, 2025 options expiration date.

A possible overall performance result (including commissions) for this NVIDIA Corporation Covered Calls position is as follows:
