Net Position Exposure

Covered Calls 70000 shares
Naked Puts 48500 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.

Bot back in the short Jan 7.5 calls and rolled out to the Feb & Apr 8 strikes. Also added another LEAP with the Jan 2015 5 Calls. Earnings out on 01/24 and estimates are for .28, will hope that things go well and not be put back into the house of pain.

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

Good Trading
