Options Update: May 2021

Welcome to my Options Update for May! 

A good month of options trading in April took me a little closer to my 

2021 options income goal of collecting $24,000 in options income, though I'll still need to collect an average of $2,416 per month to achieve it!

Unfortunately, last month's trading activity didn't help much and I collected less than $600. We'll see how it goes in June, which will bring us to the midpoint of 2021. 

Recap

In May, I had one assignment, three expirations, and three more options that I closed early. Additionally, I rolled forward four options and wrote five put options to generate additional options income:

Assigned Options

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

I had one assignment in April:

#579	2020-12-18	:	-1	×	AFL 21 May 2021 $50.00 C	$       115.00	( $          -0.69 )

On 17 May, Aflac Incorporated (AFL) traded above $56 per share, well above the $50 covered call I'd sold. Given that AFL would be trading ex-dividend on 18 May, I expected an assignment but buying back the covered call seemed excessively expensive, so I just let the assignment happen. 

As a result, 100 shares of AFL got called away and I secured $114 in options income.

Expired Options

In May, the following option expired:

#629	2021-03-16	:	-1	×	NOC 21 May 2021 $270.00 P	$       330.00	( $          -0.24 )
#624	2021-03-16	:	-1	×	HSY 21 May 2021 $140.00 P	$       155.00	( $          -0.29 )
#620	2021-03-16	:	-1	×	CAT 21 May 2021 $180.00 P	$       136.00	( $          -0.79 )

After options expiration day, I usually write an article to report what happened. I reported on all these expiration in this article, so I won't rehash the details here. 

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.

#660	2021-05-17	:	-2	×	ADM 21 Jan 2022 $65.00 C	$    1,240.00	( $          -0.70 )
#576	2020-12-18	:	-2	×	ADM 18 Jun 2021 $60.00 C	$       104.00	( $   -1,521.90 )	→ #660

On 17 May, Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM) traded well above the $60 strike price of the covered calls I'd sold. Since the stock would've traded ex-dividend on 18 May and to avoid probable assignment, I rolled forward the call options to the 21 January 2022 expiration date, simultaneously increasing the strike price to $65. The trade cost about $1,522 to execute and I collected about $1,239 for selling the $65 calls, for a net loss in options income of about $283.

 

#662	2021-05-17	:	-2	×	CSCO 16 Jul 2021 $55.00 P	$       716.00	( $          -1.84 )
#637	2021-04-07	:	-2	×	CSCO 16 Jul 2021 $45.00 P	$       116.00	( $        -80.25 )	→ #662

On 17 May, Cisco Systems, Inc (CSCO) traded around $53 per share, well above the $45 puts I'd sold. With much of the available options income already in the bag, so to speak, I decided to increase the strike price to $55. The trade cost only about $80 to execute and I collected about $714 for selling the $55 puts. I'm looking to buy 200 shares of CSCO, so I'm happy to go above $CSCO's current share price with these puts. 

#665	2021-05-17	:	-2	×	PFE 17 Sep 2021 $42.00 P	$       648.00	( $          -0.74 )
#646	2021-04-15	:	-2	×	PFE 16 Jul 2021 $35.00 P	$       114.00	( $        -33.80 )	→ #665

Pfizer Inc (PFE) traded just above the $40 on 17 May, well above the strike price of the $35 puts I'd sold. Since I want to buy 200 shares of PFE, I decided to roll forward the put options to the 17 September expiration date, simultaneously increasing the strike price to $42. The trade cost about $34 to execute and I collected about $647 for selling the $42 puts, for a net gain in options income of $613. 

#666	2021-05-17	:	-2	×	PG 25 Jun 2021 $135.00 P	$       175.00	( $          -1.09 )
#604	2020-12-18	:	-2	×	PG 18 Jun 2021 $100.00 P	$       146.00	( $          -7.44 )	→ #666	$

On 17 May, The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) traded around $138 per share, well above the $100 puts I'd sold. Since I want to buy 200 shares of PG, I decided to increase the strike price to $135. The trade cost only about $7 to execute and I collected about $175 for selling the $135 puts, for a net gain in options income of $128. 

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. In the case of covered calls, you must close the calls if you want to sell the underlying shares before expiration. 

I closed the following options early in May.

#614	2021-01-05	:	-1	×	DIS 21 Jan 2022 $170.00 C	$    2,401.00	( $   -1,511.47 )
#576b	2020-12-18	:	-1	×	ADM 18 Jun 2021 $60.00 C	$         52.00	( $      -759.69 )
#572	2020-12-11	:	-4	×	T 18 Jun 2021 $37.00 C	$       156.00	( $        -41.99 )

 

On 17 May, The Walt Disney Company (DIS) traded around $170 per share after experiencing a post earnings drop. I decided to buy back the $170 covered called I'd sold, which was deep in the money just days earlier. Doing so cost me about $1,511, but I secured about $890 in options income in the process. I want to retain the 100 DIS shares I currently own, so I won't be selling another covered call. DIS is trading above $179 now. 

As mentioned earlier, on 17 May, ADM traded well above the $60 strike price of the covered calls I'd sold. Since the stock would've traded ex-dividend on 18 May and to avoid probable assignment, I rolled forward two call options and closed another call option by buying it back. The trade cost about $760 for a net loss of 708.

Finally, AT&T (T) traded just above $31 on 17 May, well below the $37 covered call I'd sold. I decided to buy back the covered calls and wait to see what happens now that the company has decided to spin off WarnerMedia and merge it with Discovery Inc. Closing the $37 covered call cost $42 and I secured $156 in options income. 

Covered Calls

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

I did not sell any covered calls in May.

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 May:

#668	2021-05-17	:	-1	×	TSN 18 Jun 2021 $80.00 P	$       225.00	( $          -1.09 )

#664	2021-05-17	:	-1	×	HRL 18 Jun 2021 $45.00 P	$         60.00	( $          -0.29 )
#663	2021-05-17	:	-1	×	DHI 20 Aug 2021 $90.00 P	$       500.00	( $          -0.80 )
#661	2021-05-17	:	-3	×	BEN 16 Jul 2021 $35.00 P	$       645.00	( $          -2.22 )

I'm willing to buy 100 shares of Tyson Foods, Inc (TSN) for $80.00 per share on or before 18 June. TSN closed at $80.61 per share on the date of my trade:

#664 : 2021-05-17: Sold to Open 1 Contract of Option HRL Jun 18 2021 45.00 P

I'm willing to buy 100 shares of Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL) for $45.00 per share on or before 18 June. HRL closed at $46.55 per share on the date of my trade:

Open Date :  2021-05-17     Expiration Date :  2021-06-18     Number of Days in Trade :  32 Price at Close :  $46.55 per share Discount at Strike Price :  3.33% Strike Price :  $45.00 per share Number of Contracts : 1 Number of Shares : 100 Put Premium :  $0.60 per share Options Income :  $60.00     Commission :  -$0.29 Net Premium :  $0.597 per share Net Options Income :  $59.71 Options Yield :  1.28% Annualized Options Yield :  14.64% ----------------------------   --------------------- -------------------------------   -----------     Commission if Exercised :  $0.00 Cost Basis if Exercised :  $44.40 Discount if Exercised :  4.62%

---

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%. All these put trades measure up to that criterium!

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.

Many of these options are out-of-the-money by large margins. 

But there are several options expiring on 18 June that would need careful attention. Four are in the money or at the money, while seven are out of the money with small margins of safety. 

Concluding Remarks

May turned out to be a slower month for options trading with just $501 added to my options income tally in May. So far this year, I've collected $5,177 in options income and, given my goal of collecting $24,000, I would need to average $2,689 in the remaining seven months of 2021 to achieve that goal! 

May 2021

	Total Options Income		Secured Options Income
End of Month:	$ 92,208		$ 71,675
Previous Month:	$ 91,707		$ 71,808
This Month:	$    501		$   -133

In 59 months of options trading, I've collected options income totaling $92,209.
