New Position: MSFT

Here is an analysis of the second position I established with my rollover 401(k) funds:  MSFT.  Remember, the goal of the Rescue My IRA approach is to earn income in three ways from each position, whenever possible…through call premiums, capital appreciation, and dividends.

MSFT

12/30/2011 Bought 400 shares at average share price $25.99 (total $10,395.00)
12/30/2011 Sold 4 MSFT Feb 2012 27 at $0.40 (total $147.99)


Net Profit:

1) Options Income:  = $147.99
2) Dividend Income: Ex-date is 2/14, $80.00
3) Capital Appreciation if assigned at $27:  $387.00

Total Net Profit if Assigned and dividend collected:  $147.99 + $80 + $387.00 = $614.99
Absolute Return on Investment: ($614.99/$10,395.00) = 5.92%
Annualized Return if Assigned (45 days):  5.92*(365/45) = 47.99%
Yesterday's closing price was $27.30, so the Feb 27 is currently in the money (ITM).
