November 25th, 2022 Options Expiration Results

There was one Covered Calls position in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio with a  November 25th, 2022 weekly options expiration date.   This position in Exxon Mobil Corporation (ticker XOM) was closed out yesterday since its stock price of $113.21 at the market close yesterday was in-the-money, so the 200 shares owned were assigned (i.e. sold) at their $108.00 strike price.  

As detailed below, the return-on-investment (ROI) result was a +1.9% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +32.0% annualized return-on-investment) for the 22 days holding period).  This position was established using my Dividend Capture Strategy, so the return-on-investment result achieved includes receiving Exxon's $.91 per share quarterly dividend since the ex-dividend date occurred on November 14th which was during the 22 day period between November 4th when this Covered Calls position was established and the November 25th options expiration date.
