Options Update: November 2020

I write monthly Options Update articles to summarize options trades and keep track of DivGro's total options income. While my blog is mostly about dividend growth investing, I added options trading in 2016 to boost DivGro's income. 

When selling covered calls and put options, I collect the options income and redeploy it to buy dividend growth stocks. Doing so indirectly boosts DivGro's ability to generate dividend income. 

November's options income was disappointing as I failed to top $1,000 for the first time in six months. With only one month remaining, my 2020 goal of collecting at least $24,000 in options income is entirely out of reach. 

Recap


In November, I closed one option early and had one assignment and nine expirations. Additionally, I rolled forward an option and had ten income-generating trades:


Assigned Options


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

I had one assignment in November:

#456a 2020-03-09 : -1 × BEN 20 Nov 2020 $22.50 P  $       455.33  ( $          -0.48 )

I sold three $22.50 put options on Franklin Resources, Inc (BENand rolled forward two of them to avoid assignment. This means I left one of those options open to an assignment, which occurred one day before expiration on 19 November.

I'm very happy with the outcome, despite having paid $22.50 per share when the going price was $20.85 per share. When accounting for the options premium I received, my effective cost basis was only $17.96 per share! 

For additional context, on Friday, BEN's closing price was $23.71 per share!

Expired Options


In November, the following option expired:

#549 2020-10-21 : -2 × AFL 20 Nov 2020 $37.00 P  $       344.00  ( $          -0.68 )
#537 2020-09-29 : -1 × LOW 20 Nov 2020 $170.00 C  $       575.00  ( $          -0.67 )  
#534 2020-09-29 : -1 × IBM 20 Nov 2020 $135.00 C  $       105.00  ( $          -1.09 )  
#533 2020-09-29 : -2 × GILD 20 Nov 2020 $70.00 C  $       154.00  ( $          -0.88 )  
#532 2020-09-29 : -2 × CSCO 20 Nov 2020 $42.00 C  $       162.00  ( $          -2.48 )
#522 2020-09-21 : -1 × ORCL 20 Nov 2020 $55.00 P  $       118.00  ( $          -0.79 )
#519 2020-08-27 : -2 × LLY 20 Nov 2020 $125.00 P  $       365.00  ( $          -1.60 )  
#516 2020-08-21 : -2 × XOM 20 Nov 2020 $35.00 P  $       218.00  ( $          -0.90 )
#513 2020-08-21 : -1 × TXN 20 Nov 2020 $105.00 P  $       125.00  ( $          -0.65 )

I already covered these expirations in an article, so I won't rehash details here.

In all, I secured options income totaling $2,516 with these expirations. Secured means I no longer have any obligations. For covered calls, my shares can no longer be called away, and, for put options, the margin set aside for collateral gets released.  

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.

#544 2020-10-19 : -1 × D 18 Dec 2020 $85.00 C  $       115.00  ( $      -172.42 )

I closed one option in November, but not to secure options income prematurely. Instead, I closed this option because I decided to close my position in Dominion Energy (D) because the company decreased its dividend.

Doing so produced a net loss of $57.

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.

As mentioned earlier, I rolled forward two BEN options to avoid assignment:

#551 2020-11-19 : -2 × BEN 18 Dec 2020 $20.00 P  $         91.00  ( $          -0.27 )
#456b 2020-03-09 : -2 × BEN 20 Nov 2020 $22.50 P  $       910.67  ( $      -352.23 ) → #551

On 19 November, BEN traded below $21 per share, some 7% below the $22.50 put options I'd sold earlier. To avoid assignment, I decided to roll forward two of these options to the 18 December expiration date, simultaneously lowering the strike price to $20. While trade cost about $353 to execute, I collected $91 for selling the December puts and secured about $557 of options income by buying back 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 calls in November:

#558 2020-11-30 : -1 × LOW 15 Jan 2021 $170.00 C  $       120.00  ( $          -0.79 )
#556 2020-11-30 : -1 × IBM 18 Mar 2021 $140.00 C  $       155.00  ( $          -1.09 )  
#555 2020-11-30 : -2 × GILD 19 Feb 2021 $70.00 C  $       114.00  ( $          -0.87 )

#553 : 2020-11-30: Sold to Open 2 Contracts of Option CSCO Mar 19 2021 45.00 C

If the options are exercised, I'll sell 200 shares of CSCO at a reduced cost basis of $39.77 per share, for capital gains of 13.16%.

For covered calls, I think an achievable goal is to earn double the dividend yield. Two of these covered call trades achieve this goal, and two do not.

Options Income Tally


Here is a running tally of the total amount received from options trades and the options premiums secured due to options that expired or are closed. Secured means I no longer have related obligations and "own" the corresponding options income free and clear.

Seven covered calls and one put expiring in January are in the money, while four covered calls and one put are out of the money with a small margin of safety. While I have a bit more time, there are many more in the money options that I would need to deal with before their Janauray expiration.

My year-to-date options income is $15,009, about 62.5% of my goal to collect $24,000 in options income in 2020. This is one goal that I won't achieve in 2020!

    1. Thanks. Yes, selling puts can help you get the price you want.

  2. Just curious, are your In The Money contracts ever assigned early or are you reliably able to wait until near expiration to roll them forward?

    Inspired by your posts, I just started selling some covered calls and cash secured puts over the last few week on WFC, T, WBA (call) and KR (put). So far I have been doing weekly options that are deep out of the money. I have not had the courage to work on longer time horizons yet.

    Thanks for the articles, they give me fresh ideas.

    1. Early assignment can happen, but it is infrequent. Because I sell covered calls on dividend growth stocks, it is important to monitor covered calls around the ex-date. Option holders will exercise calls of in the money contracts before the ex-date in order to grab the next dividend.

      All the best with your options trading journey! Take it slow and steady while you learn!
