Established Covered Calls in NVIDIA Corporation

Today a short-term Covered Calls position of 10 days duration in NVIDIA Corporation (ticker NVDA).  My buy/write net debit limit order at $182.90 was executed and the time value was $2.10 per share [$8.80 Call options premium - ($191.70 stock purchase price - $185.00 strike price)].  An in-the-money strike price was established with the probability that NVIDIA's stock will close in-the-money (i.e. above the $185.00 strike price) on the 4/24/2026 options expiration date was 72.4% when this transaction was executed. 

The current average target price of Wall Street analysts is now $264.57 (+38.0% above today's purchase price).  Today's position continues my recent history of establishing NVIDIA Covered Call positions with expiration dates every week.  

As detailed below, a potential return-on-investment result if NVIDIA's share price is in-the-money (i.e. above the $185.00 strike price) and therefore assigned on its April 24th, 2026 options expiration date is +1.1% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +41.2% annualized return-on-investment for the next 10 days).
