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 2007.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 will update this portfolio each month on expiration weekend, using the Analyzer, to find more buy/writes using the monies realized from called or "get-out" sales.
