Mar 21 $75 covered call offers some 4% premium. Got one lot to start. Shares are at a support area. Got 10 to build a position over time. Will be adding slowly.

Can Lourenco pull it yet again? CLF wanted US Steel (X), but they rejected the bid and went with Japanese Nippon. Biden killed the deal. In the meantime, Lourenco purchased Canadian Stelco. If US finds itself in a recession, we may see CLF back at $2.5, otherwise it may bottom at this level. Remains to be seen. I am willing to DCA at key levels.

ORCL crushed earnings. Stock is up 22%. Based on our previous earnings thread, this is what I did - Sold 14% OTM puts (and then bought cheap 3 cents puts just to cover for any margin call if stock crashes). Will get 11.1k from this - Sold a smaller lot of 7% OTM: Will get 4.8K from this - I will close both of these tomorrow morning for a total profit of: 15,900$

Avantor is a supplier of chemicals and testing products to laboratories, hospitals, healthcare researchers in the U.S. and globally. The company lost more than 50%5 of its value in the last year alone. However, they are improving and there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, so I started building a position, buying shares and also selling calls $12 and $13 strikes. Today they announced appointment of a new CEO, and apparently market does not like their choice: the stock is down more than 6%. I plan to hold over the ER that is next week and will be held by the outcoming CEO. I'll make my decision to stay in or get out after the ER.

APA is yet another energy company. It is one of those that had screwed up and trying to turn things around. It is getting better. I've been holding CIVI and PR and now added APA.
