Today is Jan2011 options expiration Friday. With the three Petrobras (PBR) Jan2011 $35.00 calls well in-the-money, the Covered Calls Advisor decided to roll-up-and-out to the Feb2011 expiration at the $37.00 strike price. The three Jan2011 $35.00 calls were bought back for $1.35 (only $.02 of time value remaining in each call option) and replaced by selling three out-of-the-money Feb2011 $37.00 strike options at $.89 as follows:
01/21/2011 Buy-to-Close (BTC) 3 PBR Jan2011 $35.00 Call Options @ $1.35
01/21/2011 Sell-to-Open (STO) 3 PBR Feb2011 $37.00 Call Options @ $.89
The price of PBR was $1.33 today when these transactions were made.
