Rolling up to the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit, and that's at the 513. Received a 2.08 credit; 7.34 net credits received.

Doing a "window dressing roll" for a realized gain from the June 20th 513 to the June 30th 505 for a .09 credit. Just looking to milk the last meaty bits out of June while reducing buying power effect/lowering my break even. 7.43 net credits collected.
