Covered Call Analyzer
Results for our "Stocks to Consider" Lists and Monitored Portfolios
Investment Enhancing Systems, Inc. provides subscribers with Two (2) "Stock to Consider" Lists and three (3) Monitored Portfolios. They are updated each month on expiration weekend (the third weekend of the month). Selections are made using the Covered Call Analyzer. The lists and portfolios are define below. Results for all lists and portfolios from their inception can be viewed by clicking on one of the buttons above.
Aggressive "Stocks-to-Consider" List - to establish this list each month, we run the Analyzer on expiration weekend with our default parameters and $5,000 for the money available. After submitting these parameters, we click the button on the results page that says "List stock/call combinations with hi PE or negative earnings". We then select the twenty stock/call combinations that have the greatest incomes from the "income from the sale of the calls" on the consider page. We publish these twenty stocks as the Aggressive "Stocks-to-Consider" list. We then monitor these twenty stocks each subsequent month on expiration weekend, commenting on what we did, until the position is closed out for any single stock or all positions are closed out for all twenty stocks. Prior to April, 2008 this list contained ten "Stocks-to-Consider". These activities are identified in our results for out Aggressive "Stocks-to-Consider" Lists. We have been publishing this list since 1999.
Conservative "Stocks-to-Consider" List - to establish this list each month, we take the first twenty results from running the Analyzer on expiration weekend with our default parameters and $5,000 for the money available. We publish these ten stocks as the Conservative "Stocks-to-Consider list. We then monitor these ten stocks each subsequent month on expiration weekend, commenting on what we did, until the position is closed out for any single stock or all positions are closed out for all ten stocks. These activities are identified in our results for our Conservative "Stocks-to-Consider" Lists. Prior to April, 2008 this list contained ten "Stocks-to-Consider". We have been publishing this list since 2002.
$100,000 Covered Call Retirement Portfolio - This portfolio is started at the beginning of each calendar year. It is started by taking the first ten stocks on the January Conservative list (see above) and making them the basis for the Retirement portfolio. Since there are ten stocks with a value of about $10,000 each, it is a $100,000 portfolio. Since it is a retirement portfolio, we take up to $2,000 each month as income from the sale of the call contracts and use it for retirement income. Any call premium above $2,000 each month goes back into the portfolio. We let the appreciation of called stocks remain in the portfolio. When a stock is called or the get-out price is exercised, the proceeds are used to buy more stocks and sell more calls using those stocks listed first on the Analyzer Conservative "Stocks to Consider" List for that month. If stocks are not called, we sell more out-of-the-money calls on those stocks to increase the income for that month. These activities are identified in our results for our $100,000 Retirement Portfolio. We have been publishing this portfolio since 2005
$10,000 Aggressive Covered Call Portfolio - This portfolio is started at the beginning of each calendar year. It is a $10,000 portfolio and we put $2,000 into the "money available" field of the parameters page. The Analyzer is run on expiration weekend with the default parameters, and the "List stock/call combinations with hi PE or negative earnings" button clicked. This is an aggressive portfolio. We then take the stocks that have the highest incomes from the "income from the sale of the calls" on the consider page. This will yield five to seven stocks, probably five without going over the $2,000 allocated for this portfolio. We keep all the premium income and price appreciation to the out-of-the-money strike price in the account. When a stock is called or the get-out price is exercised, the proceeds are used to buy more stocks and sell more calls listed by Analyzer with high or negative PE and the best premium incomes. If stocks are not called, we sell more out-of-the-money calls on those stocks. These activities are identified in our results for the $10,000 Portfolio. We have been publishing this portfolio since 2005.
Exchange Traded Funds "ETFs-to-Consider" - This list was started on expiration weekend in April 2008. To establish this list each month, we run the Analyzer on expiration weekend with our ETF default parameters which includes $10,000 for the money available. We then select the first ten ETF/call combinations and publish them as the basis for the "ETFs-to-Consider" list. We then monitor these ten ETFs each subsequent month on expiration weekend, commenting on what we did, until the position is closed out for any single ETF or all positions are closed out for all ten ETFs.
Good Luck and Profitable Investing!!!
