When a covered call option moves deep in-the-money early in the contract, exit strategy opportunities will present. Should we roll the option out or out-and-up? Should we close both legs of the covered call trade or should we take no action?

This podcast will evaluate a real-life trade with JD.com, Inc. where all 3 choices will be considered and evaluated. Calculations using our BCI spreadsheets will be used to support eh rationale for our decisions.

BCI PODCAST #119: Establishing Our Cost-Basis for Long-Term Holdings https://www.thebluecollarinvestor.com/bci-podcast-119-establishing-our-cost-basis-for-long-term-holdings/ https://www.thebluecollarinvestor.com/bci-podcast-119-establishing-our-cost-basis-for-long-term-holdings/#respond Thu, 08 Feb 2024 10:37:05 +0000 https://www.thebluecollarinvestor.com/?p=23855 Watch Video:

Listen To Audio Version:

There are 2 distinct cost-basis scenarios for covered call writing:

1. Trade initiation cost-basis:
Stock price at the time of the trade for at-the-money and out-of-the-money strikes
The strike price for in-the-money strikes as we deduct the intrinsic-value of the premium from the stock price
If we buy a stock for $52.00 and sell the $50.00 call for $3.00, $2.00 is intrinsic-value and that “buys-down” our cost-basis from $52.00 to $50.00, the strike price

2. How do we determine cost-basis on shares we have owned for long periods of time, probably purchased at a much lower price than current market value?

A real-life example with Bank of America Corp. is used to highlight the calculations.

Covered call writing trades can be implemented in 2 ways. We can use legging-in where the trade is accomplished in 2 distinct trades and with the buy/write combination form where the stock is purchased and the option sold simultaneously with a new debit limit order.

Both approaches are shown using a real-life example with CORT.
