January is always a busy month for me.  One reason is that I often roll out option contracts to January because they are almost always available as Leaps for one or more years out.  Other times it is just the next available month for which I can either sell new options or roll out.  This January was no exception.

This month I had two sets of Call assignments, both at full term.  The FCX Call assignments were some of my FCX trades that I have been making with the goal of having the shares quickly called away for a profit.  As to the MWW assignment, it was one of four contracts that I had sold.  I had actually expected all four to be called away.  The WFC Put assignment was anticipated and is part of my ongoing attempt to move cash to stock to cash more quickly and at a profit.

All of the rolled out transactions were for a net deposit in the associated account.  Here are the summarized results: 

I include those options that I rolled out or were assigned prior to their expiration date to present a more complete picture of the option transactions that I originally sold for expiration this month.  Weekly options are indicated with a “w” included with the Put or Call designation.

I have already written about any new Option transactions I have made on these expired, assigned or rolled out transaction.  There are still a few for which I have not written new Option contracts.  I will write about them as new contracts are sold.

This month I had one Call assignment.  The FCX Call assignment was made at full term and I was one of my FCX trades that I have been making with the goal of having the shares quickly called away for a profit.  That process has not worked out quite as I expected because I continue to hold most of those shares.  On the other hand, because I want them called away I am selling Strike prices much closer to the current stock price and generating greater option premiums.  I am also able to gather some dividends because the stock was not called away.

This month I rolled out a contract for one stock and had one Put assignment.  The one that I rolled out is shown as BTC (Bought to Close) in the Result column and has already been written about in a prior post.  The OLN Put assignment was made at full term and I have already written about the Covered Calls that I sold on the shares.

Over the next few days I will sell and write about new Covered Call transactions for those stocks that show expired.
