Rolling the 46 short call from April to May on strength for a 1.42 credit. Cost basis of 41.38. Earnings are in 42 days, so may look to "play through," depending on where price is at shortly before earnings.

Although there's a bunch of extrinsic left in the 46's, rolling out on this vol pop here to June for a 1.13 credit. Cost basis at 40.25. I compared that against improving the short calls by a strike (to 47.00), which also increases max profit potential by 1.00, but since rolling "as is" does the same thing and pays slightly more (1.13), opted to go that route.

Pulled this off here for 45.57, .43 short of max, for a nice 5.32 ($532)/per contract-1 lot winner. This leaves me with one single name in the IRA -- UAL ... .
