May 8th, 2026 Options Expiration Results

The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio had three Covered Calls positions with May 8th, 2026 options expirations and all three positions (Barrick Mining Corporation, Citigroup Inc., and NVIDIA Corporation) closed with their stock prices in-the-money.  So, their Calls expired with no remaining time value and the Covered Calls were closed out by the stocks being sold at their respective strike prices on their May 8th options expiration date. The return-on-investment details (in alphabetical order) for each position is as follows:

1. Barrick Mining Corporation (B) -- +2.0% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +82.0% annualized return-on-investment) for the 9 days of this investment.  This Barrick Mining Covered Call position had a $37.00 strike price and it closed at $43.13 yesterday.  The original blog post showing the details of this position is here
