Assigned on BAX Covered Calls, Profit $3,325 in 82 days, 3.8% or 17% annualized.

JEFFLSMITH ~ EDIT”ASSIGNED ON BAX COVERED CALLS, PROFIT $3,325 IN 82 DAYS, 3.8% OR 17% ANNUALIZED.”

Baxter had a nice jump in stock price the last couple of days closing at over $86 yesterday. We were short Aug 28 $83 and $83.50 calls. Plans were to roll the options up and out (diagonal) today and hope the upward momentum continued. Stock goes Exdiv today with a dividend of $.245 which we intended to capture. Made a mistake not rolling up to “out of the money” strike price yesterday and lost the dividend ($367) as a result.

We may replace the position today. Baxter doesn’t have the volatility (lower return on covered calls) but it pays a solid dividend and is a good core healthcare holding.

Update on ABT CC, Profit $8,497 in 87 Days, 31.1% Return or 130% Annualized

Our Covered Call strategy on ABT was established with the purchase of 300 shares on May 26. Since that time we have added to the position with 300 shares on 6/25 and 400 on 8/21. Covered Call strategy on Abbott has performed well aided by an upward move in the stock. We have rolled the options 13 times and had two expirations. Abbott is attractive for CC Writing as it trades weekly options, potential for growth on the stock price and pays a dividend.

WDC to STX swap

#CoveredCalls – Thanks to @OptionIceman for reminding me WDC had suspended it’s divvy. I was not aware of this. STX is a similar company with a similar chart and a similar divvy. Liquidated my WDC and bought an equal number of shares in STX. WDC was underwater so I’ll roll all that into the new position and go from there with an STX basis.

Thanks again Iceman!

Covered Call on PTON Assigned, Profit $6,090 in 19 Days, 9.6% ROI or 184% Annualized

On Friday PTON stock closed above our strike price of $66 and stock was assigned. We purchased the stock on July 20. Calendar roll on 7/24 and Diagonal Roll up from $63.50 to $66 on Jul 31. We had an order in for a diagonal roll up on Aug 7 but didn’t get filled resulting in the assignment. Intend to establish a new covered call position in PTON today. 

Stock price dropped early in the position (blue line) with the profit from the option offsetting. Stock price started improving 7/24. Option premiums on PTON are excellent due to volatility. Options added an incremental $3,560 in profit to the position.

AVGO + Expirations

STO $AVGO 280/290 Jun-26-2020 #BuPS @1.25 (Ex-Divy today)

Expiring:
OX $SPXL Jun-19-2020 45 #CoveredCalls – was STO @0.88. Stock closed at 42.13.

Assigned:
OA $OXY Jun-19-2020 $14.5 #CoveredCall – Stock is at ~19.70. Bought the shares at 15.32 in April, rolled calls a few times so my basis is 12.88- looked for a roll and couldn’t find a good one so letting it go – Of course, would have done better if I’d just held the stock and not sold the calls on it.

WFC early roll

Bought to close 1 WFC 06/19/2020 27.50 Covered Call / Sold 1 06/26/2020 28.50 Covered Call @ 0.22 Credit plus a 1.00 point better strike.
This increases my potential profit by $120 for holding the stock for one more week and pushes the strike price above my stock cost.
#CoveredCalls

SPY

#CoveredCalls #Dividends – I’m not sure how SPY reacts to dividends and how likely a call position DITM is of getting exercised early. Was going to let this get called away at a tiny profit but I’ll hang onto it for the weekend to make sure I get the divvy.

Rolled SPY JUN 19 2020 263.0 Calls to JUN 22 2020 265.0 Calls @ 2.02 debit

Paying .02 to insure what is hopefully about a 1.40 divvy.
