Portfolio & Option Update May 2020

My activity is mainly ruled by the options expiration date, so to make things easier to me, I decided to publish my monthly update according to this calendar (from the 3rd Friday of one month to the next 3rd Friday).

Portfolio.

Stocks.

This month I bought a stock, SBMO, on a swing opportunity. It’s also a good opportunity according to fundamental analysis.

This month the dividend season started !!!!.

• ATEB : 32.34€,
• FLOW: 55€ (from assigned option),
• MERY : 96€,
• WEB : 165.25€

This lead to a YTD total of 446.59€ which is 16 % of the expected annual target.
The target amount is 2650€, this will probably not achieved due to corona crisis.

ETF.

I decided to buy some new ETF :

• IUSA : S&P500 ETF distributing dividend, I bought at 26.56€ & 26.94€
• OD7F : I wanted to invest slowly in the WTI oil. The price WTI oil price should very slowly returns to normal prices. It is a very small position.
  I bought at 2.43€ & 2.71 €. I may buy some more if the market goes in the right direction.

I received the following dividends :

• VECP: 0.60€,
• VUCP: 2.81€, (converted from $ to €).

The total dividend amount for the year is 40.47€.
It is my first year investing in ETF, so I did not set any target for the year. I was invested for years in multiple funds I decided to sell to set an ETF portfolio.

Swing trading.

This is a new section, I am very bad in swing trading, but some talks with a friend may have change something in my mind. So I started buying 2 stocks.

• The first one, SBMO, due to the nice fundamental figures. This stock has joined my buy list for portfolio and also for option trading.

• The second one, EURN, is also a nice opportunity according to the fundamental and technical analysis.

Options.

Transaction : [A] Assigned, [E] Expired, [C] Closed, [R] Rolled.

This month ends with a profit of 250.93 €. This is inline with my usual profits.
The target income for the year is 2400 €.
Due to the rolled positions the YTD incomes are negatives -15.86 €.
The rolled positions amount is 1633.55€. This is still inline with the target profit for the year.

I had to roll the ICAD spread to another expiration date with a profit.
I also had 2 surprises, Flow had been rolled multiple times and should be assigned at 32€. Finally, I was not assigned because the price drops few cents under the limit at expiration…time ! I contacted the broker to be sure it was not an error ! 🙂 So I’m going to roll again at 32€ which is the target price of analysts.
The second surprise was to be assigned on NSI for the same reason !

Updated target prices.

I should be able to provide the target price for July.

Stay Home and be careful on the markets.
