The approach evolves as we learn - I guess that's part of the human condition. I have struggled with whether IP should even be in my portfolio - if I draw the hard line of S&P STARS ratings of 4 or above, IP doesn't fit. On the other hand, quite a few of my colleagues have done well with the shares, and The Motley Fool even had a positive article on it in the last month or so.
So I added another 100 shares last week at $27.97, so I now hold 300 shares with a price basis of $26.21 per share.
Earlier I had completed a roll-out on the original 200 shares, then sold Jan 27s on them for $338. I sold a Jan 29 on these new shares, netting $55. So the current position looks like this (assuming the options are assigned):
Total Option Premiums: $207.19
Dividends: $52.50
Total Stock Gain (Loss): $419.75
Total Absolute Return: $679.44
Total Absolute Return Percentage: 13.42%
Annualized Return (held 105 days): 46.64%
