September 25th, 2026 Options Expiration Results

The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio had two Covered Call positions with September 25th, 2026 options expirations and both positions (Newmont Corporation and Uber Technologies Inc.) were in-the-money and therefore assigned yesterday, so the Call options expired and both Covered Call positions were closed out by selling the stocks at their respective strike prices.  The return-on-investment summary for each position is as follows:

1. Newmont Corporation (NEM) -- +1.5% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +56.3% annualized return-on-investment) for the 10 days of this investment.  This Newmont Covered Calls position had a $118.00 strike price and it closed in-the-money at $121.43 yesterday.  The original blog post showing the details of this position is here. 

2. Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) -- +1.8% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +40.8% annualized return-on-investment) for the 16 days of this investment.  This Uber Covered Calls position had a $69.00 strike price and it closed in-the-money at $69.62 yesterday.  Even though the stock price declined from my original purchase price from $71.23 to $69.62 yesterday (a -2.3% price decline), establishing an in-the-money strike price gave me sufficient downside protection to still achieve the maximum potential annualized return-on-investment for this Covered Calls position.  The original blog post showing the details of this position is here.
