The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) contained six covered calls positions with October 2012 expirations. A summary of the results is as follows:
- Two positions (Apple Inc. and iShares MSCI South Korea ETF) had their options expire yesterday since the stock prices closed below the Oct2012 options' strike prices. So now, the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) is long 100 shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL) and 500 shares of iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY). A decision will be made by Monday to either sell these shares or to re-establish covered calls positions by selling Nov2012 call options. When these decisions are made and the accompanying transactions are completed, a post will be made on this blog on the same day with the details.
- The other four positions (Citigroup Inc. Halliburton Co., iShares MSCI China ETF, and MetLife Inc.) were closed out upon Oct2012 options expiration. The options expired and the accompanying equities were assigned (i.e. equities called away) at their respective strike prices.
With the cash available from the closing of these positions, the Covered Calls Advisor will establish new positions this week with Nov2012 options expirations and will post them on this blog the same day they occur.
