The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) contained twelve covered calls positions with November 2012 expirations. A summary of the results is as follows:
- Ten positions (Canadian Natural Resources LTD, Citigroup Inc., Foot Locker Inc., Fusion-io Inc., SPDR Gold Shares, iShares MSCI China ETF, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, iShares MSCI South Korea ETF, MetLife Inc., and Potash Corp.) had their options expire yesterday since the stock prices closed below the Nov options' strike prices. So now, the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio (CCAP) is long shares in these ten equities. A decision will be made during this week to either sell these shares or to re-establish covered calls positions by selling Dec2012 call options. When these decisions are made and the accompanying transactions are completed, a post will be made on this blog on the same day with the details.
- The other two positions (Mylan Inc. and United Continental Holdings Inc.) were closed out upon Nov2012 options expiration since the stock closed above the strike prices. Hence, the options expired and the accompanying equities were assigned at their respective strike prices.
The cash available from the closing of these positions will be retained in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio until new covered calls positions with Dec2012 options expirations are established (possibly later this week). These transactions will be posted on this blog the same day they occur.
The annualized return-on-investment financial results for these two closed positions are:
Mylan Inc. = +45.5%
United Continental Holdings Inc. = +37.1%
