CVS: Continuing thread

Closed the puts, and sold $80 Jan 25 calls on the shares I owned. While I believe CVS will do good for the next couple of years, my ownership experience from 2019 makes to take profits, be opportunistic and nimble. For ex:

Starting Date 12-Mar-19
Ending Date 4/10/2024
Start Value 54.70
End Value 73.22
# of years 5.00
AGGR 6.01%

So the stock performance meh, nothing to write about. Now, if you add $10 dividends earned during the period (you pay tax on that, for now let us ignore)

Starting Date 12-Mar-19
Ending Date 4/10/2024
Start Value 54.70
End Value 83.35
# of years 5.00
AGGR 8.79%

still it is okay 8.8% CAGR. Now the covered calls and some opportunistic puts I have done pushed this return to 15%+ CAGR. There is always the risk of stock getting called away or runs further than your covered call. Also, you may do a round trip like I did with this stock :slight_smile:
