On January 16, 2010 (expiration weekend), Investment Enhancing Systems, Inc. initiated a new $10,000 aggressive portfolio for 2010, This portfolio uses stocks identified in our Aggressive "Stocks-to-Consider" list by selecting buy/writes from the "Stocks with high or negative PE ratios" list. We have set the money available to $2,000 and have reduced the commissions for purchasing the stock to $9.95 and selling the calls to $9.95 plus $1.50 per contract in our parameters page. Several low cost, on-line brokers offer these low commissions. Since it is an aggressive portfolio, we keep the premium income and stock price appreciation to the strike price in the portfolio. We update the portfolio each month on expiration weekend. Our objective is to maintain and grow the portfolio. The table above lists details of stocks bought and calls sold, and when we held the stock and sold more calls or exercised our get-out price. Note: In all of our lists and portfolios, we have established a get-out price which we exercise when the stock price drops 15%. If this happens during the month, we will get-out and report the sale of the stock and the buy-back of the calls at the next expiration weekend postings. We anticipate good months and poor months, with a general gain at year end. Patience usually wins.
