Roll Out Covered Calls Position in Hologic Inc.

Today, the Covered Calls position in Hologic Inc. (HOLX) was rolled out by selling two July 16th, 2021 $65.00 Call options for $1.05 per share when the stock was trading at $63.56 per share. The stock price has declined from the original purchase price of $72.92 per share, so the Covered Calls Advisor is now attempting to repair the position from a losing one back to a profitable annualized return-on-investment. 

As detailed below, two potential return-on-investment results are: 

  •  -2.0% absolute return (equivalent to -9.0% annualized return over a period of 81 days) if the stock price is unchanged from today's price of $63.56 on the July 16th, 2021 options expiration date; OR 
  • +0.1% absolute return (equivalent to +0.5% annualized return over 81 days) if the stock is assigned at the $65.00 strike price on the July 16th, 2021 options expiration date.
