January 23rd, 2026 Options Expiration Results

The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio had three Covered Calls positions with the January 23rd, 2026 weekly options expiration date.  Two positions (Arista Networks Inc. and NVIDIA Corporation) closed in-the-money so their Calls expired and the shares were called away (i.e. sold) at their respective strike prices.  The other position in Sea Limited ADR closed out-of-the-money so its Calls expired and its shares remain in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio.  A summary of results for each of these positions is as follows:

1. Arista Networks Inc. (ANET) -- +2.0% absolute return (equivalent to +48.2% annualized return-on-investment) for the 15 days of this investment.  This Covered Call position was assigned at the $118.00 strike price since the stock closed in-the-money at $136.34 per share.  The blog post detailing this Covered Call position is here. 

2. NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) -- +2.0% absolute return (equivalent to +39.9% annualized return-on-investment) for the 18 days of this investment.  This Covered Call position was assigned at the $180.00 strike price since the stock closed in-the-money at $187.67 per share.  The original blog post detailing this Covered Call position is here. 

3. Sea Limited ADR (SE) -- This Covered Calls position closed yesterday at $124.78 which was below its $130.00 strike price, so the two Call options expired and 200 SE shares now remain in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio.  The most recent blog post detailing this position is here.  Early in this upcoming week I will decide to either continue this Covered Calls position by selling two Call options against the 200 Sea Ltd. shares currently held or close out the position by selling the 200 shares.
