FLATLINE: Since early December the stock has almost
flatlined. But if I look careful I can see that since the
end of December the stock is clinging more to the lower
Bollinger than the Upper. This is telling me that the next
move may be lower for Kraft. It;s worth waiting a few days
before selling more naked puts.

Here I am just a few sessions later and the stock has
fallen. I could wait but Kraft tends to stay in a range. If
I sell the March $30 put today I will get a great return as
I am going out almost two months. Meanwhile if the stock
falls further I am comfortable know that it will probably
stay within it's normal range. Therefore if it should fall
below $30.00 I can consider selling 5 more puts to $29.00
and holding onto the $30.00 as the stock will probably trend
around that level.

Feb 11 2011: The
stock took a bit of a tumble today and is reaching into the
low end of its range. I have a large margin available for
this stock so even though I am hold Feb 30 naked puts, I am
selling in Apr 29 for more income. It's comforting to have a
good chart to fall back on and keep watching. Kraft keeps a
tight range and I see not cause for concern.

Expiry today. As I know this stock stays in a trading
range I can select to sell the $30 strike for Mar or go to
$29.00 for April since I am already holding Mar 30 and 29
puts at this point.

COMMENTS: CLOSED both positions. As per my strategy
of the cautious bull, it is worth closing these
naked puts early when I am able to do wo for
pennies. Presently I will wait to see if the stock
pulls back over the next week or so and then sell
naked puts again. |
