When to roll⏸ WAIT
Wait until 21 Oct 2028
  • 812 days left. Nothing forces a roll before 21 Oct 2028 (90 days before expiry): waiting keeps today's structure and costs nothing extra in spread.
  • Holding as is costs about $26 a day in time decay (net theta of the three legs).
Re-run then, or sooner after a 15%+ drop (a lower price makes extending cheaper and more urgent).
Is the time worth buying• NO ROLL
Nothing to roll to: no admissible later expiry
  • Since 2026-09-17 it has banked $12,729, $8,060/mo with the open call chain marked to today's buyback; the last 90 days $8,060/mo against a $1,662/mo floor and a $3,325/mo design.
  • Safe calls (at or above the $544 CC-SS) only pay a normal premium from about $473 (+7% from here).
  • FIGHT engine (~0.30-delta calls below the CC-SS, where an assignment locks a loss): about $3,707/mo at DELL's realized keep of 83% (11 closed calls).
  • The record shows it fights: $8,060/mo earned against a modelled $3,707/mo, so FIGHT income counts toward the time.
  • No roll to judge the time on: no later LEAPS expiry, or no roll keeps the fortress's shape and upside.
  • Earnings 2026-11-24 (26 days): sell no new income into it.
