Welcome to Part 2 of my June options update!With lots of trading activity in June, I decided to split this update into two parts. Part 1 provided a snapshot of June's trades and I reported on expired, closed, and rolled options. I also reviewed the options that expire soon.
Part 2 provides details on new covered call and put contracts, as well as a spread trade I executed last month. It concludes with the usual running tally of the total amount I received from options trades, as well as the options premiums secured due to options that expired.
I added options trading to DivGro in June 2016 to leverage the equity in my portfolio and to generate additional income. To date, I've collected a total of $32,671 in options income.
Snapshot
Following is a copy of the snapshot from Part 1 showing all the trades I executed in June:

For covered calls, I think an achievable goal is to earn double the dividend yield. Only the covered calls on AAPL, CMCSA, and WBA double each stock's dividend yield. Unfortunately, most of the other covered calls offer low premiums for the margin of safety I'm comfortable with.
New Put Contracts
Selling put options allows me to set the price I'm willing to pay for a stock I want to buy. In effect, I get paid while waiting for the share price to drop!
I sold the following put contracts in this period:
| #212 | 2018-06-20 | : | -2 | × | SBUX 17 Jan 2020 $50.00 P | $ 915.00 | ( $ -2.57 ) | |||
| #211 | 2018-06-20 | : | -1 | × | HSY 20 Jul 2018 $92.00 P | $ 194.00 | ( $ -0.79 ) | |||

I'm willing to buy 200 shares of American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) for $24.00 per share on or before 17 August. AEO closed at $24.37 per share on the date of my trade:
|
This put option trade yields 3.69%, or 20.44% on an annualized basis. At $24.37 per share, AEO yields 2.26%, so I'm boosting dividend income by a factor of 9.06. If the options are exercised, I'll buy 200 shares at a cost basis of $23.10 per share, a discount of 5.21%.
#190 : 2018-06-12: Sold to Open 1 Contract of Option MKC Sep 21 2018 100.00 P
I'm willing to buy 100 shares of McCormick (MKC) for $100.00 per share on or before 21 September. MKC closed at $104.72 per share on the date of my trade:
|
This put option trade yields 1.77%, or 6.40% on an annualized basis. At $104.72 per share, MKC yields 1.99%, so I'm boosting dividend income by a factor of 3.22. If the option is exercised, I'll buy 100 shares at a cost basis of $98.15 per share, a discount of 6.27%.
#191 : 2018-06-12: Sold to Open 2 Contracts of Option TPR Jul 20 2018 45.00 P
I'm willing to buy 200 shares of Tapestry (TPR) for $45.00 per share on or before 20 July. TPR closed at $45.82 per share on the date of my trade:
|
This put option trade yields 1.54%, or 14.85% on an annualized basis. At $45.82 per share, TPR yields 2.95%, so I'm boosting dividend income by a factor of 5.04. If the options are exercised, I'll buy 200 shares at a cost basis of $44.31 per share, a discount of 3.30%.
#211 : 2018-06-20: Sold to Open 1 Contract of Option HSY Jul 20 2018 92.00 P
I'm willing to buy 100 shares of Hershey (HSY) for $92.00 per share on or before 20 July. HSY closed at $91.86 per share on the date of my trade:
|
This put option trade yields 2.12%, or 25.82% on an annualized basis. At $91.86 per share, HSY yields 2.86%, so I'm boosting dividend income by a factor of 9.04. If the option is exercised, I'll buy 100 shares at a cost basis of $90.07 per share, a discount of 1.95%.
#212 : 2018-06-20: Sold to Open 2 Contracts of Option SBUX Jan 17 2020 50.00 P
I'm willing to buy 200 shares of Starbucks (SBUX) for $50.00 per share on or before 17 January 2020. SBUX closed at $52.22 per share on the date of my trade:
|
This put option trade yields 8.79%, or 5.57% on an annualized basis. At $52.22 per share, SBUX yields 2.76%, so I'm boosting dividend income by a factor of 2.02. If the options are exercised, I'll buy 200 shares at a cost basis of $45.44 per share, a discount of 12.99%.
For selling puts, I like to see a dividend boost factor of 5.00 or more unless I can buy shares at a discount of at least 10%.
The AEO, TPR, and HSY options trades qualify with boost factors exceeding 5.00. However, the MKC and SBUX options trades do not. I'm OK with it if a few put options don't quite live up to my expectations. The options income makes up for the shortfall!
A Spread Trade
In June, I executed another trade based on a recommendation of one of my advanced options trading advisories.
The trade delivers 39% up front on margin and has a chance of returning 100% or more (on margin) over the next two years. Here is the trade:
| #210 | 2018-06-20 | : | -3 | × | GIS 17 Jan 2020 $42.50 P | $ 1,224.00 | ( $ -1.49 ) | |||
| #209 | 2018-06-20 | : | 3 | × | GIS 17 Jan 2020 $60.00 C | $ 0.00 | ( $ -235.46 ) |
Founded in 1928 and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, General Mills (GIS) is a global manufacturer and marketer of branded consumer foods sold through retail stores. The company supplies branded and unbranded food products to the foodservice and commercial baking industries.
GIS generates nearly $16 billion in annual sales and has many notable brands, including Cheerios, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Green Giant, Nature Valley, Yoplait, and Häagen-Dazs.
Here are the possible outcomes of the trade:
- GIS trades for less than $42.50 per share. The $60 calls expire worthless. The $42.50 puts are in the money and would be exercised, meaning I'll buy GIS for $42.50 per share. When accounting for the net credit of $3.29 per share, my cost basis would be $39.21 per share.
- GIS trades between $42.50 and $60 per share. In this case, both options will expire worthless, and I would keep the $3.29 per share premium, or $987, which is a 39% return on margin in about 19 months.
- GIS trades for more than $60 per share. This outcome is the best case scenario. The higher GIS goes above $60 per share, the higher my returns will be. For example, if GIS rises to $65 per share, the calls would be worth $5 per share, or $8.29 per share when adding the net options premium. That's a return of about 98% on margin.
Options Income Tally
Here is a running tally of the total amount received from options trades, as well as the options premiums secured due to options that expired:
