- During the week prior to expiration, in-the-money covered call positions in three equities [Apple Inc.(AAPL), Fluor Corp.(FLR), and Gap Inc.(GPS)] were rolled to Apr2010 expirations. These roll-out transactions were detailed in prior posts this week on this blog.
- Three positions (Amgen, iShares Brazil ETF, and Market Vectors Russia ETF) closed in-the-money. The calls were exercised and the equities were called away. The annualized percent return-on-investment(ROI) results for these three exercised positions were:
Amgen Inc.(AMGN): +26.9%

- Six positions in the CCAP (AHL, CHU, FXI, NE, NOV, and PWR) ended out-of-the-money. Decisions will be made to either sell the equities, or to keep them and sell calls to establish Apr2010 covered call positions.
