Yesterday I sold another call option on some of my shares of HAL, my ESPP shares. I'm currently way overweight my employer's stock. I have just over 184 shares from the first purchase that went through that has already reached LTCG treatment so I'm trying to collect some premium. I now have an option on HAL expiring in April 2013 and July 2013.
I sold 1 April 20, 2013 call option with a $39 strike price. By selling the call option I'm selling the right to buy 100 shares of HAL at $39. In exchange for selling my right to do with the shares as I please, I was paid the premium in advance. I can use that cash now to use as I please. I received $2.54 per share in premium or $254 less commission taking my final premium received to $245.25.
