2. Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK) -- +1.1% absolute return (equivalent to +55.5% annualized return-on-investment) for the 7 days of this investment. This Merck Covered Calls position was assigned early on the last business day prior to its ex-dividend date (which is next Monday). The stock price had increased from its original purchase price of $79.20 to $81.71 at yesterday's market close and the extrinsic value (i.e. time value) remaining in the Call options had declined from their original $.80 per share value to $0.00 yesterday. So, the Calls options owner decided to exercise their Calls in order to purchase the stock at the $76.00 strike price. The original post detailing this Covered Calls position is here.
