The related transactions will be made during the next few days and the actual transactions will be posted on this blog site on the same day they occur.
- During the week prior to Apr09 expiration, there were six in-the-money covered calls positions (HPQ,UNH,ESRX,SOHU,GE,and BAC) in which the Covered Calls Advisor had decided to retain the existing stock for an additional month. For these six positions, roll-up-and-forward transactions were executed to continue covered calls positions and to extend them from Apr09 expirations to May09. The details of each of these roll-up-and-forward transactions were each posted earlier this week on this blog.
