Starting on January 17, 2009, 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 17, 2009.Since it is a retirement portfolio, we take $2,000 premium income each month as income. We reinvest (keep in the portfolio) stock price appreciation to the strike price and the balance of call premium. Our objective is to maintain and grow the portfolio while maintaining a monthly income of $2,000. 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.
