  1. Do you have a life-time earnings record? Any thoughts on your overall strategy and the success that you've had? Overall it looks positive - relatively small and consistent profits.

  2. The 19 closed CC-List positions have an XIRR of 35.6%. The 53 closed Dividend Plays have an XIRR of 24.3%. I'm currently near even on the four open positions I have.

    But, overall, given I'm only partially invested because I wait for opportunities, my returns would be better if I were fully invested in something like SPY or SCHP.

  3. Hi there - are you able to tell me how you calculate the aROI value in Excel - for the life of me I can figure out how to do that? Thanks in advance!

  4. It's just a simple (i.e. not compounded) calculation. So, just the ROI multiplied by (365/(end-start+1)). I don't do a compounded calculation because this kind of covered call investing is more of an income strategy than a growth strategy. I don't reinvest the winnings from one position into the next.

    So, in this case, the ROI is about 2.5% over 15 days, so (2.5%*(365/15)) is about 61% aROI.
