Investment Enhancing Systems, Inc. – Covered Call Analyzer

This is a rolling portfolio and we will look at open positions and make new trades using monies from called positions each month on expiration weekend.

NOTE: Beginning in April we began taking out call premium up to $2,000 per month rather than all the call premium. The balance is put back into the Retirement portfolio and used to purchase more stock.

Starting in January 2008, Investment Enhancing Systems, Inc. provided this retirement portfolio using the stocks identified in our Conservative "Stocks-to-Consider" list. We started by investing $100,000 in stock buy/writes identified by the Covered Call Analyzer on expiration weekend for January 2005. Since it is a retirement portfolio, we take the premium income each month as income. We reinvest (keep in the portfolio) stock price appreciation to the strike price. Our objective is to maintain and grow the portfolio while maintaining a monthly income of over $2000.

We anticipate good months and poor months, with a general gain at year end. PATIENCE usually wins.
