Called Away on the ex-date: JPM

I bought a couple hundred shares of JPM on the heels of my DIS trade last January.  It is a stock I've had a couple of good trades with over the course of the Rescue My IRA account, and this transaction adds to the track record.  

I held the shares a total of 75 days before they were called away on the April 1 ex-dividend date yesterday - and the trade earned an absolute return of 5.51% on the cash invested.  That works out to an annualized return of almost 27%, well above my goal of a 12% annualized return.

(For the original January post on this position, see this link.)

Meanwhile, here is the final analysis of the JPM trade, net of commissions and fees:

The position was called away on the ex-dividend date at a $57.50 strike price, netting $11,482.77, for a total stock gain of $259.77.

Total options income:   $358.49 – I only sold one covered call on this trade, the April $57.50.
