it is hail mary trade, hence the name poorman's covered call, not a comparison.
bought 5 orcl sept 2024 100 call and sold 12/22 105 call after earnings dropped last week, now the long leg is up 30.73%. i will roll the short leg to 107-110, with expectation orcl will go back to 115 or above.
or i could leave it both at have a projected return at 33% expiring this friday.
Would buying a call spread or selling a put spread have returned more? I guess difference is the higher delta of the long call in the pmcc.
