Someone sold 490 call contract

Someone sold 490 call contracts on $Lexicon Pharmaceuticals(LXRX)$ at $5 for Jan27. Not sure who was behind that, but it looks like a big position.

I could sell covered calls here, but the premium just doesn't seem worth tying up the capital for the hassle. My day trades already pay me daily, so the premium is already coming in. No real reason to lock up more capital for small returns when there are better setups available.

My $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Intel(INTC)$ calls generate much more monthly premium, so it makes more sense to keep that running.

At the end of the day though, cash is cash. Liquidity is leverage.
