December On
January 17, 2009 (expiration weekend), Investment Enhancing Systems, Inc.
initiated a new $100,000 Retirement Portfolio for 2009, This portfolio uses stocks identified in our Conservative "Stocks-to-Consider"
list. We have set the money available to
$10,000 and have set the commissions for purchasing the
stock to $19.95 and selling the calls to $9.95 plus $1.50 per contract in our parameters page. Since it is an Retirement Portfolio, we
teke $2,000 of the premium income as retirement income each month and keep the 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. Clicking on one of the months above will show
details of stocks bought and calls sold, and when we held the stock 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
