This past Friday was expiration Friday for October 2010 options. In the Covered Calls Advisor's most recent blog post, it was noted that of the thirteen covered calls positions with Oct2010 expirations, three positions ended out-of-the-money. Today, a decision was made to retain the shares in one of these three positions (Petrobras) and to establish a Nov2010 covered calls position. The transactions history for each position as well as some possible results for each of these investments are as follows:

Two possible overall performance results(including commissions) for the Petrobras (PBR) transactions would be as follows:
Stock Purchase Cost: $11,810.95
= ($39.34*300+$8.95 commission)
Net Profit:
(a) Options Income: +$973.00
= (300*($1.05+$.55+$.58+$.63+$.62) - 5*$11.20 commissions)
(b) Dividend Income: +$57.90 ($.193 * 300 shares) Net Ex-Dividend on 8/2/2010
(c) Capital Appreciation (If PBR unchanged at $34.20): $-1,550.95
= ($34.20-$39.34)*300 - $8.95 commissions
(c) Capital Appreciation (If PBR assigned at $36.00): -$1,010.95
= ($36.00-$39.34)*300 - $8.95 commissions
Total Net Profit(If PBR price unchanged at $34.20): -$520.05
= (+$973.00 +$57.90 -$1,550.95)
Total Net Profit(If PBR assigned at $36.00): +19.95
= (+$973.00 +$57.90 -$1,010.95)
Absolute Return (If PBR unchanged at $34.20): -4.4%
= -$520.05/$11,810.95
Annualized Return If Unchanged (ARIU): -10.6%
= (-$577.95/$11,810.95)*(365/152 days)
Absolute Return (If Assigned at $36.00): +0.2%
= +$19.95/$11,810.95
Annualized Return If Assigned: +0.4%
= (+$19.95/$11,810.95)*(365/152 days)
