February 08, 2024 119. Establishing Our Cost-Basis for Long-Term Holdings
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.

Covered call writing trades can be implemented in 2 ways. We can use legging-in where the trade is accomplished in 2 distinct trades and with the buy/write combination form where the stock is purchased and the option sold simultaneously with a new debit limit order.
Both approaches are shown using a real-life example with CORT.
