I am still catching up from being on vacation for 17 days so I am still a little behind posting recent activity in my various accounts. I think I can post everything today.
July has been an okay month for me. Or was it? I own 200 shares of IndyMac Bank (IDMC) and used to own 200 shares of Countrywide Financial Corp (CFC). Of course the CFC is now 36 shares of Bank of America (BAC) which is a little better than CFC.
As I wrote earlier, I was assigned 300 share of Yamana Gold (AUY) in an IRA account which I am okay with. As document earlier I rolled out several Jul08 options that I did not want to be assigned or called away. All of the rest of my Jul08 option positions expired worthless allowing me to keep all of the option premiums. Here is the list of those options that expired. Note that the Total Received column may be higher because it is the result of rolling out a prior option. For example, the AGU Put was originally sold in Dec07 and rolled out three times before it finally expired in Jul08. The actual net received was 8.72 per share or $1744. Still not too bad though. Also, where there are multiple rows for a stock each row represents a separate trading account.
