Profitable Trade: SLV Covered Call

Today we were assigned out of our position in SLV in a Roth IRA. The trade was as follows:


12/19/2011   Bought 100 SLV @ 28.389                                    -2848.85
12/19/2011   STO 1 SLV Jan 21 2012 29 Call@1.12                     +101.27
01/21/2011   Sold 100 SLV @ 29                                                2879.94

We made $132.94 in 33 days. This equates to a 4.84% return or 53.5% annual. There weren't any juicy near month options to roll so we let it get assigned. I'll be hoping to find an opportunity to get this cash back in play soon.

New Trade: Silver (SLV) Covered Call

Today I entered into the following transaction in a Roth IRA:

12/19/2011   Bought 100 SLV @ 28.389                                    -2848.85
12/19/2011   STO 1 SLV Jan 21 2012 29 Call@1.12                    +101.27

Silver has been slaughtered as of late and it is trading at the bottom of it's trading range. Our out of pocket is $27.47 which is at or below the bottom of SLV's trading range for the last year. We are bullish on precious metals and look at the recent downturn as a buying opportunity. If we get called away we will make $133 in 33 days which equates to 4.84% or 53.53% annual.
