Novice options trading question:
I have a decent concentration of one particular stock. I have a specific price I am willing to sell at (about 25% higher than it currently is trading). The stock is fairly volatile, trading within a band +/- 15% over the year.
While I am waiting for my price target, does it make sense to sell long dated calls and puts (~1yr) at my future price target (+25% of current price) for a small portion of my holdings (~10%).
Is the only downside, that if the shares drop, I won’t be able to sell those “committed” shares in the call contract and if the price jumps, I am limited to what I would have e sold them at anyway? Anything else I should be worried about.
