During September there were 19 puts trades on 17 stocks and exchange traded funds. There were 16 puts trades on 16 equities that expired in August.
Accenture Plc. (ACN) puts, which were sold for $1 a share, were bought back for $0.35 a share to avoid having them assigned after the company reported disappoint results and lowered its guidance. The ARoR on the 17-day trade was 4.5%. General Dynamics (GD) and Generac Holdings Inc. (GNRC) puts also were bought back early at profits to avoid assignments when it looked like they might be assigned.
I took assignment on four trades when the stocks and ETFs closed below their stock prices. The assigned stocks were Dollar General Corp. (DG) , Merck Co. (MRK) and Visa Inc. (V) . The assigned ETFs were S&P Biotech (XBI) and S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary ETF (XLY) . I’ve sold covered calls on XLY and will sell covered calls on the others next week.
Ten puts options expired worthless as planned because the stocks’ prices closed below their puts’ strike prices on the last days of trading those puts options. They included Danaher Corp. (DHR) , Devon Energy Corp. (DVN) , Kraft Heinz Co. (KHC) , Moderna Inc. (MRNA) Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) , Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM) , Visa Inc. (V), Vertex Pharmaceutical @VRTX, S&P Energy Sector SPDA (XLE) and Exxon Mobil (XOM) Next week I’ll roll many of these puts trades forward into puts options trades that will expire in October. The October puts trades will be updated after I complete most of the planned trades on Monday or Tuesday.
