Net Profit:
(a) Options Income: +$550.55
= ($.94*600 shares) - $13.45 commissions
(b) Dividend Income: +$0.00
(c) Capital Appreciation (If C remains above $48.00 at Mar2014 expiration): +$0.00
= ($48.00-$48.00)*600 shares
Total Net Profit (If C is above $48.00 strike price at Mar2014 options expiration):+$550.55
= (+$550.55 +$0.00 +$0.00)
Absolute Return (If C is above $48.00 at Mar2014 options expiration and Put options thus expire worthless): +1.9%
= +$550.55/$28,800.00
Annualized Return (If C above $48.00 at expiration): +26.8%
= (+$550.55/$28,800.00)*(365/26 days)
The downside 'breakeven price' at expiration is at $47.06 ($48.00 - $.94), which is 2.9% below the current market price of $48.46.
The 'crossover price' at expiration is $48.94 ($48.00 + $.94). This is the price above which it would have been more profitable to simply buy-and-hold Citigroup stock until Mar 21st (the Mar2014 options expiration date) rather than holding these short Put options.
