Out and back into IEF

The recent downturn in equities has been accompanied by bond prices increasing.  My IEF position had already given 80% of its maximum profit, so I closed it out for a net value of 89.93.   With only 3 trading days left, it doesn't feel too risky to re-establish the position with 91 calls--again, hoping for option assignment, but ok if I get the ~.25 dividend.  Net investment was 90.81 per share.   If I had been thinking I could have just rolled the options up a $1, but with the combo orders I used the commission is not much different than a straight option order.
