On January 22, 2011 (expiration weekend), Investment Enhancing Systems, Inc. initiated a new $100,000 Retirement Portfolio for 2011, 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.

We anticipate good months and poor months, with a general
