Re: [TheOptionClub.com] What would you do?

 

I do not have exit plan for profit. If AAPL keeps going up then I will sell my call 30 days before expiration and take whatever profit I get. End of May will buy back 270 call (if I can keep until then) and then will sell June call again depending on where AAPL is at May expiration.

Thanks,

Vimal
