How do Fulcire option strategies work?
Let’s use the following simplified example:
Assume XYZ stock is selling at $100 per share, has an annual dividend yield of 5% and has a three month call option with a strike price of $100 selling for $3 per share. Then the following would apply for the next three month period.
On day one:
Buy 100 shares of XYZ for $10,000 and sell one call option for $300 or a net outlay of $9,700.
At some point during the three month period you will collect a dividend of $125.
At the end of the three month period if the shares of XYZ are selling above $100 per share the purchaser of the call option will exercise their right and force you to assign the shares to them for the stipulated price of $100. Your gain on the transaction will then be limited to the option premium and dividend that you received $300 plus $125 for a total of $425. This 4.25% for three months equates to a 17% annual yield..
Alternatively, if the price of XYZ is selling below $100 per share then your gain will be calculated by the amount that XYZ exceeds $95.75 per share which, is the breakeven price.
