This past Friday was expiration Friday for December 2010 options. In the Covered Calls Advisor's Dec2010 options expiration blog post, it was noted that of the eleven covered calls positions with Dec2010 expirations, four positions ended out-of-the-money. Today, a decision was made to retain the shares in three of these four positions [Domtar Corp.(UFS), iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), and Petrobras(PBR)] and to establish Jan2011 covered calls positions. The detailed transactions history for each position as well as some possible results for each of these investments are as follows:
1. Domtar Corp.(UFS) -- Continuation
The transactions history is as follows:
11/22/2010 Bought 300 UFS @ $78.20
11/22/2010 Sold 3 UFS Dec2010 $80.00 Calls @ $2.35

12/21/2010 Sold 3 UFS Jan2011 $80.00 Calls @ $1.85

Two possible overall performance results(including commissions) for the Domtar Corp.(UFS)
transactions would be as follows:
Stock Purchase Cost: $23,468.95
= ($78.20*300+$8.95 commission)
Net Profit:
(a) Options Income: +$1,237.60
= (300*($2.35+$1.85) - 2*$11.20 commissions)
(b) Dividend Income: +$0.00
(c) Capital Appreciation (If UFS unchanged at $77.94): $-86.95
= ($77.94-$78.20)*300 - $8.95 commissions

= ($80.00-$78.20)*300 - $8.95 commissions

= +$1,150.65/$23,468.95
Annualized Return If Unchanged (ARIU): +29.3%
= (+$684.85/$23,468.95)*(365/61 days)
Absolute Return if Stock Assigned at $80.00: +45.1%
= +$1,768.65/$23,468.95

= (300*($.99-$.38+$1.02+$.77) - 3*$11.20 commissions)
(b) Distribution Income: +$115.37 = $107.83 + $7.54
