Agnc call spread, is the risk reward good?

Quote from optionnew:

hold the call till teusday, exercise, sell stock on wensday. If dec call was not exercised buy back Jan call, hold call untill dec, get exercised in december. If agnce goes to $15 from now till dec, my loss is $2-$3 vs. $13 if I own the stock, for that I pay a little more comission. Clear enough?

I see. Why not do the Dec calendar spread instead of Jan13? Even less premium at risk and better liquidity.

The diffrence is if stock falls lower then 25, with Jan I have more time for a rebound vs. december. Shoud there be a big diffrence in premium I would probably buy december as you said.

Exercised my 25 calls today. The December call is trading for a .40 premium, will see Wednesday if will get called on the December.

Today was ex -div so how about a recap of what exercising your long calls achieved for you?

Recap, sure. The stock fell with a net -.54 (.36 AH), while the option fell by fell by -.70.
Going forward since the stock fell, I am considering substituting the stock with an even deeper ITM option that would have minimal time premium.

What the stock does in AH is irrelevant since the option change is based on the regular hours close. So ignoring the AH change, are you saying that you picked up a net gain of 16 cts ?
