There are 2 distinct cost-basis scenarios for covered call writing: 1. Trade initiation cost-basis: Stock price at the time of the trade for at-the-money and out-of-the-money strikes The strike price for in-the-money strikes as we deduct the intrinsic-value of the premium from the stock price If we buy a stock for $52.00 and sell the $50.00 call for $3.00, $2.00 is intrinsic-value and that “buys-down” our cost-basis from $52.00 to $50.00, the strike price 2. How do we determine cost-basis on shares we have owned for long periods of time, probably purchased at a much lower price than current market value? A real-life example with Bank of America Corp. is used to highlight the calculations.
