12/14/2009 – ThetaOptions Margin PortfolioMSFT Position Closed – Even

After TWO long months, we’re finally throwing in the towel on our MSFT covered short play.  It just doesn’t make sense chasing the position in order to turn a small profit, we can certainly find better places to use our cash.

Profit Calculation:

+29.10 [short stock], +0.75 [sold put] = 29.85 credit

-0.05 [bought put], +0.30[sold put] = 30.10 credit

-0.03[rolled to DEC 29 Put] = 30.13 credit

-0.20 [30-31 DEC Call back\ratio] = 29.93 credit

-.05[put], -.03(2)[calls], -30.05 [covered stock], +0.28 (sold call) = 0.05 or $5 Profit
