This past Friday was expiration Friday for September 2010 options. In the Covered Calls Advisor's most recent blog post, it was noted that of the nine covered calls positions with Sep2010 expirations, six were in-the-money at expiration and were therefore exercised and the stocks were called away, and three positions ended out-of-the-money. The three out-of-money positions were Domtar Corp. (UFS), iShares MSCI China ETF (FXI), and Petrobras (PBR). Today, a decision was made to retain the shares in these three positions and to establish covered calls position with Oct2010 expirations. The transactions history for each position as well as some possible results for each of these investments are as follows:
