Our current trading portfolio. At this time we have positive positions in all these securities. Note that we trade these stocks as options and they might not be good long term holdings. However we believe at our strike prices noted below they represent good entry point values.
AAPL..... Continues as our largest holding at just over $150k. Apple has had such bad press of late we see $390 as a bottom now. Yields about 3% at the current price. Nice premiums on options and little downsize risk.
AFL... We like this insurance carrier that is near the bottom of it's price range. Insurance benefits from rising rates since they the can produce additional income from asset holdings. We use a strike price of $50.
BP.. Sooner or later BP will break free of the lawsuit agony. The current price near $40 is most favorable long term in our opinion. We might even like it better at around $37. 5% yield make the wait worthwhile.
CTL..The one legacy telecom that has begun to grow and gain market share. Not to mention the nice 6% plus yield. Our strike price is $33, but we might back it off to $32 shortly for additional safety.
FB.... Remains a company in limbo. If they can figure out how to convert all those Facebook accounts to some advertising revenue they could grow quickly. Strike price of $20.
HFC....Continues to prosper from the lack of a pipeline for mid continent oil which keeps the price below the world price. So they get to resell refined crude at the market price with the nice cushion of additional profit. Do not overlook the special quarterly dividend. Strike price $35.
LO...The only cigarette maker we like currently due to the growth factor in the US. Nice dividend too. Strike price of $37.50.
NOV...Supplier of oil drilling equipment and most importantly gas drilling equipment. Warren Buffet is buying shares. Strike price of $60.
O...Since it has sold off back towards $40 we have added this stock back to our portfolio. We love Realty Income and it's monthly dividend. Strike price of $40.
SHLD... Lousy retailer. Fabulous real estate portfolio. Our strike price of $40 seems to be a good value price for this stock. We might back off to the mid $30 is the stock continues to show weakness here.
SO...The recent sell off has brought this stock back where it is a value again. Our strike price of $41 makes for a good entry point.
T....Stable big telecom company we like at $33.
