This covered call has a 99 day duration, provides 6.22% downside protection and a 5.32% assigned return rate for a 19.60% annualized return rate (comparison purposes only). A lower cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase.

The trade has a 99 day life and would provide 4.31% downside protection and a 13.17% assigned return rate for a 49.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only).
