June 2010 Expiration Transactions

The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) contained a total of six covered calls positions with June 2010 expirations, with the following results:

- Four positions (iShares MSCI China ETF, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, Petrobras, and Symantec Inc.) closed in-the-money. The calls were exercised and the shares of FXI, EEM, PBR, and SYMC were called away.

- Two positions in the CCAP [Intel Corp.(INTC) and the S&P 500 Spyder ETF (SPY)] ended out-of-the-money. Decisions will be made to either sell the equities, or to keep them and sell calls to establish Jul2010 covered call positions. The related transactions will be made this week and the actual transactions will be posted on this blog site on the same day they occur.
