Covered Call Options as Investment Strategies

An investment strategy that is highly underutilized is the selling/writing of call options on individual stocks or ETF’s that are owned within an investment portfolio. I will cover three different S&P 500 option strategies which could all be implemented simply by using the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and its underlying options.

All three strategies were invented and are tracked by the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) and most are now being mimicked by mutual funds for personal investors.

The first strategy involves buying the S&P 500 and selling 1 month call options at the money every month and letting them expire. This means that systematically if you own $1M of the S&P 500 and the index closes the month on the level 1,000 you sell $1M notional of 1-month call options with a strike of 1,000. This would equate to $1,000,000/1,000 = 1,000 written 1-month call options on the S&P 500 at a strike of 1,000. This process would be repeated every month upon expiration of the 1-month options. This strategy is the simple At-The-Money (ATM) Buy-Write index which trades under the symbol BXM.

The second strategy is a simple extension of the BXM called the 2% Out-of-The-Money (OTM) Buy-Write Index under the symbol BXY. As you could guess, the BXY simply sells 1 month call options 2% out of the money instead of at the money. This provides the S&P 500 room to go up 2% per month without capping returns.

The last strategy is the Put-Write Index. This strategy simply sells 1 month put options at the money while holding the equivalent notional amount in cash while earning interest. Without getting into details, due to “Put-Call Parity“, the Put-Write index is theoretically equivalent to a covered call strategy. The return/risk characteristics of this strategy are often more attractive than a simple covered call and I will cover those details at another time.

The First Horseman of the Privacy Apocalypse Has Already Arrived: Verizon Announces Plans to Install Spyware on All Its Android Phones

Within days of Congress repealing online privacy protections, Verizon has announced new plans to install software on customers’ devices to track what apps customers have downloaded. With this spyware, Verizon will be able to sell ads to you across the Internet based on things like which bank you use and whether you’ve downloaded a fertility app.

Verizon’s use of “AppFlash”—an app launcher and web search utility that Verizon will be rolling out to their subscribers’ Android devices “in the coming weeks”—is just the latest display of wireless carriers’ stunning willingness to compromise the security and privacy of their customers by installing spyware on end devices.

REPORTER

Costco Wholesale Corp. said late Tuesday its board of directors has declared a special dividend of $7 a share and authorized an increase of 5 cents in the company's quarterly dividend. "Our strong balance sheet and favorable access to the credit markets allow us to provide shareholders with this dividend, while preserving financial and operational flexibility to continue to grow our business globally," Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti said in a statement. The special dividend is payable on May 26 to shareholders of record on May 10. The aggregate payment will be about $3.1 billion, to be funded primarily through additional borrowing, Costco said. The company's regular quarterly cash dividend of 50 cents per share will also be payable on May 26 to shareholders of record on May 12. Costco shares rose 3.8% after ending the regular trading session up 0.2%.
