Not exact matches
Since I bought
shares in another media company (NXST) earlier
in the month, I was hoping that this CMCSA put option would just
expire out of the money, as opposed to potentially being assigned and having to use more
cash to buy more media stock.
That means that (1) you receive $ 15 /
share in cash today, and (2)
in 2 months time you will either lose your stock at $ 90 (plus the $ 15 you got today, for a total of $ 105 /
share), buy back the call options (and perhaps sell others), or keep your stock and have the options
expire worthless (if the stock is below $ 90 on option expiration day).
Quick review (if you need a longer explaination, see the covered call tutorial): (1) you need 100
shares of stock or ETF, (2) you then sell 1 call option (because options control 100
shares) against the stock / ETF you own, and then (3) at expiration you may end up having your stock called away (and receive
cash) or you may end up owning your stock and having the call option
expire worthless (
in which case you can sell another call for the next cycle).
