The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) contained eleven covered calls positions with July 2012 expirations. A summary of the results were as follows:
- Three positions (Hess Corp., Mylan Inc., and Valero Energy Corp.) were in-the-money just prior to expiration and the Covered Calls Advisor decided to roll-out to Aug2012 covered calls positions at the same strike prices. The roll-out transactions were posted on the blog earlier this week on the same day that these transactions occurred.
- Six positions (Goldcorp Inc., Hartford Financial Services, iShares MSCI China ETF, iShares Emerging Markets ETF, Market Vectors Russia ETF, and Morgan Stanley) expired out-of-the-money. Decisions will be made to either sell these equities, or to keep them and sell calls to establish August 2012 covered call positions. The related transactions will be made this week and the actual transactions will be posted on this blog site on the same day they occur.
- Two positions (Apple Inc. and Halliburton Corp.) were in-the-money upon Jul2012 options expiration. These equities were assigned (i.e. equities called away).
