Starting in January 2005, 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. Click on the month below to view details of stocks bought and calls sold and when we held the stock or exercised our get-out price. We anticipate good months and poor months, with a general gain at year end. PATIENCE usually wins.
