The last equity put option written against the Hong Kong Tracker fund expired last week. I delayed rolling the contract over to provide some additional financing on the new property purchase should it be necessary. As the extra financing was not needed, this morning I entered into a new contract, selecting Petro China (857) as the underlying stock.
Details are as follows:
Underlying: Petro China (857)
Market price: $9.13
Strike price: $8.96
Valuation date: 5 November, 2009
Maturity date: 11 November, 2009
Implied yield: 16.80%
Net purchase price if exercised: $8.84
If I get hit I will have effectively purchased the shares at about a 3.2% discount to the prevailing market price. This is a share which I am happy to hold long term if I get hit.
