Upon Oct2011 options expiration last Friday, seven of the thirteen total covered calls positions in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) expired. Today, a decision was made to re-establish covered calls positions for four of these seven equities (Apple Inc., International Paper, Mylan Inc., and Peabody Energy) with Nov2011 expirations. The detailed transactions history for these positions as well as possible results for these investments are as follows:
1. Apple Inc.(AAPL) -- Continuation

Some possible performance results(including commissions) for these AAPL transactions are as follows:
Stock Purchase Cost: $39,663.35
= ($396.544*100+$8.95 commission)
Net Profit:
(a) Options Income: +$1,715.60
= (100*($10.15+$7.20) - 2*$9.70 commissions)
(b) Dividend Income: +$0.00
(c) Capital Appreciation (If stock price unchanged at $399.10): +$246.65
= ($399.10-$396.544)*100 - $8.95 commissions
(c) Capital Appreciation (If stock assigned at $410.00 at expiration): +$1,336.65
= ($410.00-$396.544)*100 - $8.95 commissions
Total Net Profit (If stock price unchanged at $399.10): +$1,962.25
= (+$1,715.60 +$0.00 +$246.65)
Total Net Profit (If stock assigned at $410.00): +$3,052.25
= (+$1,715.60 +$0.00 +$1,336.65)
1. Absolute Return (If stock price unchanged at $399.10): +4.9%
= +$1,962.25/$39,663.35
Annualized Return If Unchanged (ARIU) +29.6%
= (+$1,962.25/$39,663.35)*(365/61 days)
2. Absolute Return (If stock assigned at $410.00 strike price): +7.7%
= +$3,052.25/$39,663.35
