MHP - Adjustment

The following adjustment was made today on MHP:

21-May-09 - Buy Back and Roll Out - BTC 1 Jun09 25.00 Call @ -5.79 -
21-May-09 - Interim Trade - STO 1 Aug09 25.00 Call @ 6.31 -
10-Jun-09 - Dividend Received - DIV 100 Dividend @ 0.23 -

Tomorrow is Ex-Dividend date for MHP and they will pay a $0.23/share dividend on 6/10. The MHP Jun 25 Call was ITM with less than $0.23 time value (i.e. less than the dividend) and was therefore in danger of an early exercise to capture the dividend. So, I rolled it out to an Aug 25 Call for a net credit of $52 plus the $23 for the dividend for a total credit of $75.

Current Position Summary:

Stock Investment: $4.527.00
Income Generated: $625.70
Percent Income Generated: 13.82%
Annualized Income Generated: 10.99%
Net Profit If Called: -$1,401.30
