Part 1 of my monthly options update presented October's assigned, expired, closed and rolled options. Also, I reviewed options that expire in the next two months and discussed the progress I've made related to my secured options income goal.In Part 2, I'm providing details on covered calls and put contracts sold in October, as well as a spread trade I executed. I'm also providing the usual snapshot of recent options trades showing a running tally of options income and secured options income.
I added options trading to DivGro in June 2016 to leverage the equity in my portfolio and to generate more income.
Combining dividend growth investing with options trading creates a nice "ecosystem". My portfolio produces dividend income and serves as collateral for a margin account that allows options trading. In turn, options trading produces options income that flows back into my account, allowing me to buy more dividend growth stocks.
New Covered Calls
Selling covered calls is a way to collect extra income on stocks you already own.
| #249 | 2018-10-23 | : | -1 | × | TSM 18 Jan 2019 $40.00 C | $ 114.00 | ( $ -1.09 ) |
#249 : 2018-10-23: Sold to Open 1 Contract of Option TSM Jan 18 2019 40.00 C
I own 100 shares of Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) at a cost basis of $41.34 per share. I'm willing to sell these shares for $40.00 on or before 18 January:
|
This covered call yields 2.73%, or 11.47% on an annualized basis. The yield on cost of my TSM position is 3.17%, so I'm boosting dividend income by a factor of 3.62. If the option is exercised, I'll sell 100 shares of TSM at a reduced cost basis of $40.19 per share, for a capital loss of 0.47%.
For covered calls, I think an achievable goal is to earn double the dividend yield. The TSM covered call easily doubles the stock's dividend yield.
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!

|

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 put options trades on IP, VZ, TSM, HRL, and FL match my standard, but those on XEL, AFL and FLO do not.
Spread Trade
In October, I executed a spread trade on Starbucks (SBUX):
| #239 | 2018-10-12 | : | -2 | × | SBUX 17 Jan 2020 $55.00 P | $ 966.00 | ( $ -0.84 ) | $ 34,342.73 | ➤ $ 16,080.73 | |
| #238 | 2018-10-12 | : | 2 | × | SBUX 17 Jan 2020 $75.00 C | $ 0.00 | ( $ -186.82 ) | $ 33,377.57 | ➤ $ 16,081.57 |
The market has become quite volatile, providing a good opportunity to sell expensive premiums.
The trade generated a net credit of nearly $3.90 per share or about 35% of margin requirement.
By selling the puts I'm accepting the potential obligation to buy shares of SBUX at $55 if the stock trades for less on 17 January 2020. Because I executed two spread trades, my potential obligation totals $11,000.
Buying the call gives me the right (but not the obligation) to buy SBUX at $75 per share on or before 17 January 2020.

Buying the call gives me the right (but not the obligation) to buy SBUX at $75 per share on or before 17 January 2020.
Here are the possible outcomes:
- If SBUX trades for less than $55 per share at expiration, the calls would expire worthless. The puts would be exercised and I'll have to buy 200 SBUX shares for $55 per share. Accounting for the $3.90-per-share net credit, I would own SBUX for a net cost of $51.10 per share. That's roughly 9% less than SBUX's closing price on 12 October of $56.45.
- If SBUX trades between $55 and $75 per share, both options would expire worthless and I would retain the $3.90 per-share premium for a return on margin of about 35%. That works out to an annualized return of about 26% through options expiration.
- If SBUX trades for more than $75 per share before expiration, I'll could exercise the call and buy SBUX at the $75 strike price, and immediately sell those shares for a profit. For example, if SBUX trades at $85 per share, I would make a profit of $10 per share on top of the net credit of $3.90 per share, for a total profit of $13.90 per share. That represents a return on margin of 126%.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this trade turns out!

Concluding Remarks
October was a great month and, as far as secured options income is secured, I'm back in positive territory for 2018! My year-end target for secured options income is $23,420. With $16,044 in options income secured, I need to secure another $7,376 in November and December.
