Rolled Out the Tyson Foods Inc. Covered Calls Position

The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio has a Covered Calls position in Tyson Foods Inc. (ticker TSN)  that expired out-of-the-money at its December 16th, 2022 options expiration date.  Tyson Foods closed at $61.84 then and the strike price was $65.00.  I decided to continue this Covered Calls position today by rolling-down-and-out to the $62.50 strike price at the January 20th, 2023 expiration date by selling two Call options at $1.30 per share against the 200 Tyson shares owned when the stock price today was $61.67.   

As detailed below, two potential return-on-investment results are: (1) -1.2% absolute return (equivalent to -8.4% annualized return for the 53 days holding period) if the Tyson Foods price is unchanged at today's $61.67 price on the January 20th, 2023 expiration date; and (2) -0.1% absolute return (equivalent to -1.0% annualized return for the 53 days holding period) if Tyson Foods is in-the-money (i.e. above the $62.50 strike price) on the Jan. 20th expiration date. In doing this rollout transaction, I am attempting to maintain exposure in the Consumer Staples sector by repairing this currently losing position back closer to profitability.
