May08 Final Option Results

in: Stock and Option Trades
Below are the results of my May08 option holdings.  All are expirations except for the ACI contract which was assigned.  I evaluated rolling the ACI contract out but it was too far in the money make it worthwhile.  I originally purchased these ACI shares at $40 and owned them at $36.31 so I don’t feel to bad about them being called away.  I should point out that some of the amounts in the “Total Received” column are larger than you might expect because they are the result of rolling out a previously owned Put or Covered Call.

Rolled out OLN and NYX

in: Stock and Option Trades

The market was up and down and up again today.  I was not really planning to make any trades today but… 

I BTC 3 Jan 20 Puts for OLN in my taxable account and STO 3 May 20 Puts.  They are just under the strike price and pay a decent dividend (my current threshold is 4% to be decent) so I would normally have let this stock be put to me in Jan and then sold Covered Calls on it.  However, at the risk of repeating myself, this is the taxable account that I am trying to “heal” so I do not want to buy anything if I can help it.  These transactions netted me an additional $204.50 into this account, generated a small taxable loss and did not increase my potential liability.

I BTC 2 DEC 80 Puts for NYX and STO 2 MAR 80 Puts in an IRA account.  NYX was underwater when I made the trades and the market was down.  The stock pays a paltry dividend so I don’t really want to own the stock right now.  The stock ended up above the $80 strike price so I was apparently a little gun shy.  I did lock in $1750 in profits on the BTC and generated an additional $690 on the STO so I don’t feel too bad.  You can never be wrong with a profit. :-)
