Possible Trade Outcomes: You Win Either Way
| Stock Price Outcome | What It Means For You |
| CRM stays above $135 | You keep the full $778 premium - 5.8% extra income over the next 365 days on cash that might otherwise earn you 4.0% or less. You never buy the stock and simply walk away with the cash. |
| CRM closes below $135 | You'll be obligated to buy 100 shares at $135. But thanks to $778 premium, your effective cost basis is just $127.22 per share - a roughly 35% discount from current level. |
But to hold this trade with conviction, you want to see long term upside in the stock. Because if it comes to it, you want to be excited about buying the stock cheap.
