After my position in T was assigned earlier this month on its ex-date, I searched for a new position to replace it with. After considering a couple of stocks, I selected ADM – there was a good post on it on Seeking Alpha recently, and it is one of a number of stocks that are on my watch list. While I was en route to Dallas last week I pulled the trigger on this triple play opportunity.
Here are the details of the new ADM position:
ADM
4/9/2012 Bought 300 shares at a total of $9,246.88
4/9/2012 Sold 3 ADM Jun 2012 32 at a total of $202.24
Net Profit:
1) Options Income: = $202.24
2) Dividend Income: $52.50 (Mid-May ex-date)
3) Capital Appreciation if assigned at $32.00: $335.94
Total Net Profit if Assigned and dividend collected: $202.24 + $52.50 + $335.94 = $590.68
Absolute Return on Investment: ($5,90.68/$9,246.88) = 6.39%
Annualized Return if Assigned (60 days): 6.39%*(365/60) = 38.86%
On the date of purchase last week, ADM’s closing price was out of the money (OTM).
