Adding more BIDU positions, taking advantage of this weakness.

BIDU is showing some weakness due to some negative reports.  BIDU is a good stock with very strong chart pattern.  This weakness is a good chance to add more positions which I did.

Bought BIDU and sold calls (strike $135, exp. Aug 20th), cost: $132.  The maximal return is 8.5% in 3 days (profit / margin requirement), if BIDU stays above $135.   Break even point is $132.  If BIDU stays above $135 by friday, I plan to roll it up (calendar spread) to next week (weeklys have higher % time value).  If BIDU falls below $135, I’ll let the options expire and establish new ones next week.
