DIS Called Away

My experience with DIS was similar to the one I had with IP, I went back to the well to add to my position on a good trade, but ended up having shares at two strike prices.  I did that to make sure I held shares for the annual dividend ex-date, and I was concerned my lower strike contract would be called away. 
So, just as with the IP shares, I made money all three “Rescue My IRA” ways:  with call premiums, dividends, and share price gains. These shares were called away at options expiry date last week.  Here is the record on this position, as usual, net of fees and commissions:
DIS

Shares:
Bought 300 shares at an average price of $35.17, total position basis $10,551.96
Sold on assignment 300 shares at $10,864.22, average share price $36.21
Total stock gain:  $312.26

Options:
11/8/2011 STO 36 Nov 2011 total $81.00
11/14/2011 BTC 36 Nov 2011 total -131.00
11/14/2011 STO 37 Dec 2011 total $155.00
11/22/2011 BTC 37 Dec 2011 total -$43.50
11/28/2011 (2) STO 36 Jan 2012 total $176.49
12/8/2011 (1) STO 37 Jan 2012 total 83.74
Total options income:  $321.73

Dividend:
Collected $180 on the shares

Net Profit:
1) Stock gains:  $312.26
2) Options income:  $321.73
3) Dividend Income: $180.00


Total Net Profit after Assignment:  $312.26 + $321.73 + $180.00 = $813.99
Absolute Return on Investment: ($813.99/$10,551.96) = 7.71%
Annualized Return (72 days):  7.71%*(365/72) = 39.09%
