Monday, November 17, 2008 — 2011 LEAP options begin trading for March cycle shares. That’s the last cycle to start trading after the cycles were delayed this year. More info on LEAP cycles.
Thinking of selling covered call and put on 2011 Amgen giving profit in $35 plus range, with profit capped at $85, but $25 of that in the hand now. There is no free lunch. Use of these derivatives increases gearing in portfolio. Money received is for assumption of risk and limiting upside.
Synthetic long on GE, a March cycle, …

The Fusion Investing and Analysis Fund has sold 5 FDX June $90 Puts (FDXRR) at $4.00.
For an fusion analysis of Fedex see yesterday’s post.
With 28 days to expiration selling at $4.00, gives cost if put of $86, return on total risk of 4.65%, annualised to 60%, return on buying power of 15.5% and a 2.5% discount from the price.
This transaction delivers $2,000 cash to the fund. I anticipate holding until expiration. I’ll update this entry with further details tomorrow.
