December 26th, 2025 Options Expiration Results

The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio had four Covered Calls positions with December 26th, 2025 options expiration dates.  Three positions [Meta Platforms Inc., NVIDIA Corporation, and Vistra Corporation] closed in-the-money and their Call options expired and their stocks were therefore assigned (i.e. sold) at their respective strike prices.  One position in Dell Technologies Inc. with a $130.00 strike price closed slightly out-of-the-money at $129.24, so the two Call options expired and 200 Dell shares now remain in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio.  I will decide early next week whether to sell the Dell shares or continue this Covered Calls position by selling two future Dell Call options against the 200 shares owned.  

A summary of the results for the three positions closed out yesterday is as follows:

1. Meta Platforms Inc. (META) -- +1.4% absolute return (equivalent to +47.9% annualized return-on-investment) for the 11 days of this investment.  This Covered Call position closed in-the-money yesterday at $663.29 per share which was above its $635.00 strike price, so the maximum potential annualized profit was achieved.  The original post detailing this position is here.

2. NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) -- +1.9% absolute return (equivalent to +48.3% annualized return-on-investment) for the 14 days of this investment.  This Covered Call position closed in-the-money yesterday at $190.53 per share which was above its $170.00 strike price, so the maximum potential annualized profit was achieved.  The original post detailing this position is here.  

3. Vistra Corporation (VST) -- +1.9% absolute return (equivalent to +47.4% annualized return-on-investment) for the 15 days of this investment.  This Covered Call position closed in-the-money yesterday at $161.67 per share which was above its $155.00 strike price, so the maximum potential annualized profit was achieved.  The original post detailing this position is here.
