Net Position Exposure

Covered Calls 57500 shares
Naked Puts 43500 shares

Decided to try a stock replacement strategy by opening long some Jan 2015 4 Calls when they could be bot for a fairly reasonable premium over intrinsic. Gives me 2+ years for the stock to gain the 8 strike and can write short term options against with the premise that if the strike is attained I would exercise them.

This trade has been a loser and using naked put options has increased the losses when it broke down from 9.

Latest news is a dividend increase coming next year from .0425/share to .0575/share in the Mar cycle which to me puts about a 4% yield around 6 or so. Company also increased the buyback by 1B and has been a fairly aggressive buyer.

Looking to see what the Feb series premium has to maybe adjust the position by possibly covering the Jan 7.5 CC's and opening the Feb 8 if it can be done flat. The earnings date will also have an impact as if it happens after Jan expiration I could leave them open and hopefully bingo. Still have room to write more calls here and will look to do so.

Still looking for the door with 2 years into the trade and a pretty good overall loss so far.

Good Trading
