ONGOING EVALUATION & TRADE - Year 1
Goal: Income through selling options
Objective: I am starting off by selling naked puts for income. I don't mind being assigned shares however I will roll my naked puts whenever the situation develops where I am in the money with my put options.

This is the first year for my Microsoft trade. Microsoft is the dominant software company in the world. Apple is not really a software company but more a hardware and software company. Microsoft continues to generate enormous income and trades at a fairly low PE for the quality of the company. It has enormous cash capital available making the risk of a dividend cut an unlikely event. The stock got down to $15 in the credit crisis which made it a steal for anyone who bought it at that level. Microsoft throughout the year has been buying back its own stock, which is a bullish outlook in my opinion.
