Covered Call Analyzer CONSERVATIVE "STOCKS-TO-CONSIDER"    

  for June, 2007

NOTE: We had temporarily suspended out get-out rule (at -15%) between July 25 and September 22, 2007 because of the volatility in the markets. We have reinstated the get-out rule effective September 22 (expiration weekend). Any open positions on any list or portfolio will be sold if their price drops 15% below the stock price at September 22.
