Options Trade - Lorillard (LO)
Today I am reporting an options trade from 02/27 with LO. Shares of LO have been showing weakness with reports that flavored/menthol cigarettes could be banned. I used this as an opportunity to sell another put.
The Trade:
I Sold 1 LO Sept 21 '13 $37.5 Put @ 2.97
This trade could turn out a few ways:
1) I hold shares until expiration and shares are trading above $37.50. I will get to keep the $297 in options premiums.
2) I hold shares until expiration and share are trading below $37.50. I will get assigned 100 shares of LO at a cost of $34.53/share. This is a YOC of 5.87%.
3) Shares of LO go on a run and I decided to buy back the put early for a profit less than $297.
I currently have 15 open options positions and a profit of $1040 for 2013 so far. My options page has been updated accordingly.
