BJS - Adjustment

The following adjustments were made today on BJ Services (BJS):

11-Jun-09 - Option Exercised - EX 1 Jun09 12.50 Call @ 12.50 - Partial Exercise
12-Jun-09 - Cash to Secure Put - CSP 100 BJS @ 12.50 -
12-Jun-09 - Initial Put Position - STO 1 Jul09 12.50 Put @ 0.20 -

Today is ex-dividend date for BJS with a $0.05 dividend payable on 7/15. Yesterday, the Jun 12.50 call had less than $0.05 time value and I was assigned on 100 shares of my 300 share position (i.e. 1 Jun 12.50 call option was exercised). BJS still has good fundamentals but it's trading at a 15% premium to fair value. Therefore, I didn't want to average down at this price, so I sold a Jul 12.50 cash secured put. I received $1,250 from the sale of the stock, and used that $1,250 to secure the put. Therefore, my initial cost basis hasn't changed. I also still have 200 shares with 2 Jun 12.50 calls that are ITM. If they get called I will sell 2 more Jul 12.50 cash secured puts.

This is my new strategy of using cash secured puts in lieu of averaging down and/or re-entering after assignment. From an accounting standpoint, the call and the put were a wash, $1,250 credit (call) and a $1,250 debit (put). Although the $1,250 is still in my account, it's tied up to secure the put, just as if I had purchased the stock at $12.50, so I include it in my cost basis.
