【whaler's tavern new bedford】Why trader is selling calls in Danaher
Danaher climbed to new highs yesterday,whaler's tavern new bedford but one trader apparently believes that further gains will be limited in coming months.
A trader bought 3,128 January 57.50 calls for $1.08 against previous open interest of 5,689, according to optionMONSTER systems. At the same time, he or she sold 3,819 June 62.50 calls for 1.23 and $1.22 in volume far above the open interest of 348 at that strike.
This appears to be a trader buying back the January short calls, which are now in the money and expire in two weeks, and rolling the position to the higher strike in later-dated contracts. The options were very likely sold against long shares in a covered call strategy, which allows the investor to generate income by selling calls while holding a long stock position. The new short calls will allow the trader to profit up to the $62.50 strike price but not beyond. (See our Education section)
