Options Update: July 2019

Welcome to another options update article!

I write these monthly updates to summarize options trades and to keep track of options income. Each update also serves as a status report on open options and the obligations I potentially have.

My monthly target for options income in 2019 is $1,750. I'm happy to report that July's total exceeded my monthly target, although I'm still a little behind the pace needed to collect $21,000 in options income this year.

This month I'm reporting several expirations, as well as a multitude of income-generating trades.

Recap


Through the end of June 2019, I collected options income totaling $9,619 in 2019 at an average of about $1,603 per month. This was still short of my monthly target average of $1,750. 

Below is a snapshot of July's trades, which included four expirations, three trades in which I rolled forward options, and several trades in which I sold new options for income.


Assigned Options


When the holder of an option exercises the option, it is said to be assigned.

After a few consecutive months of assignments, I'm happy to report there were no assignments in July. DIS closed just 15¢ below the strike price of the covered call I'd sold, so that was a close call!

Expired Options


In July, the following option expired:

#3502019-05-22:-2×GIS 19 Jul 2019 $50.00 P $ 176.00 ( $ -1.00 )
#3402019-05-15:-1×DIS 19 Jul 2019 $140.00 C $ 242.00 ( $ -0.80 )
#2822018-12-06:-1×TSM 19 Jul 2019 $45.00 C $   60.00 ( $ -5.63 )
#2592018-12-06:-1×D 19 Jul 2019 $80.00 C $ 130.00 ( $ -0.34 )

For details on these expirations, please read this article.

I secured options income totaling $600 with these trades. 

Closed Options


When an out of the money option goes further out of the money, you can close the option early and secure most of the options income. I didn't close any options early this month.

Rolled Options


Rolling forward options means buying back an option and selling another option with a later expiration date. You can do this to avoid options assignment for in the money options, or to collect more options income for out of the money options.

I rolled forward the following options this month:

#3772019-07-25:-2×MS 15 Nov 2019 $42.00 P $ 263.00 ( $   -0.85 )
#3552019-05-29:-2×MS 16 Aug 2019 $40.00 P $ 262.00 ( $ -18.44 )→ #377
#3752019-07-25:-1×AAPL 18 Oct 2019 $180.00 P $ 180.00 ( $   -0.65 )
#3292019-03-27:-1×AAPL 16 Aug 2019 $170.00 P $ 492.00 ( $ -28.19 )→ #375
#3742019-07-22:-1×XOM 17 Jan 2020 $80.00 C $ 127.00 ( $   -1.53 )
#3332019-03-27:-1×XOM 20 Sep 2019 $85.00 C $ 151.00 ( $ -10.73 )→ #374

On 22 July, Exxon Mobil 
(TSM) closed at $75.07 per share, meaning the September $85 covered calls I'd sold were deep out of the money. I decided to roll forward the options to January 2020 and to lower the strike price to $80. In the process, I secured about $140 in options income and I collected an additional $125 for selling the January 2020 call.

Apple (AAPL) closed at $207.02 per share on 25 July, so the $170 put option I'd sold was deep out of the money. I decided to roll forward the option to October and raise the strick price to $180. Doing so secured $464 in options income, and I collected an additional $179 for selling the October put. 

Finally, Morgan Stanley (MS) closed at $44.87 on 25 July, so the $40 August puts I'd sold were deep out of the money. I decided to roll forward the options to November and simultaneously to raise the strike price to $42. Doing so secured about $244 in options income and I collected another $262 for selling the November puts.

Covered Calls


Selling covered calls is a way to collect extra income on stocks you already own.

I sold the following covered call in July:

#3732019-07-22:-1×VLO 20 Dec 2019 $100.00 C $ 105.00 ( $ -0.68 )

#373 : 2019-07-22: Sold to Open 1 Contract of Option VLO Dec 20 2019 100.00 C

#369 : 2019-07-22: Sold to Open 1 Contract of Option D Jan 17 2020 80.00 C

For covered calls, I think an achievable goal is to earn double the dividend yield. The VLO and D  covered calls both fail to meet this goal!

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 July:

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 ORCL and CSX put options trades do not achieve this goal.

Options Expiring Soon


Below I'm listing options expiring in the next two months. On expiration day, in the money options will result in options assignment, which I'd like to avoid in some cases, if possible.

August 2019:

→ Out of the money with a  9% safety margin 
#3072019-02-20:-2×ADM 20 Sep 2019 $45.00 C $ 234.00 ( $ -0.98 )
→ Out of the money with a  9% safety margin 

Two options are in the money and a few are out of the money with small margins of safety, so I'll have to monitor these carefully as the options expiration dates approach.

Concluding Remarks


My options goal in 2019 is to collect a total of $21,000 at an average of $1,750 per month.

Last Month:
$  52,412

Difference:
 $    2,356 
$    1,385


After collecting $2,356 in options income in July, my year to date total is $11,975. This averages about $1,711 per month, which is still a bit short of the desired monthly average of $1,750.

In 38 months of options trading, I've collected options income totaling $54,768.

While DivGro's focus will continue to be dividend growth investing, options trading certainly is contributing positively to my portfolio's performance.

The exciting thing about collecting options income is that I immediately can deploy that income to buy more dividend growth stocks and so boost DivGro's ability to generate dividend income.

  1. Whoa that's some solid options trading! And over $50k is very nice indeed. Are you enjoying the process? I imagine it takes a fair bit of time and attention keeping on top of all this...

    Cheers, Frankie

    1. Thanks, Frankie! The total of almost $55k is over a period of more than 3 years, so it has been a process for sure. I'm enjoying options trading as it keeps the "trader" in me at bay and allows the investor to be patient. The work is a fair amount, but I'm happy doing it for the compensation I get.
