I saw a few articles that mentioned WAG as a recommend. I added it to some stock research I was doing for the Rescue My IRA account, and as it turned out, it passed the screen (I’ll put a post up soon about that).
After deciding that I could let my cash reserves run at 10 percent, down from 20, I had the capital available for a new position and added WAG (I guess I need a new post on the revisions to the trading plan also). That made an otherwise dull trip to Dallas (dull because of the dearth of on-the-road recreation, the work down there was engaging!) just a little more interesting.
I pulled the trigger on WAG because of the looming ex-date on February 15. I would like another hat trick! Here are the details:
WAG

3) Capital Appreciation if assigned at $35: $266.62
Total Net Profit if Assigned and dividend collected: $182.49 + $45 + $266.62 = $494.11
Absolute Return on Investment: ($494.11/$6,716.20) = 7.36%
Annualized Return if Assigned (60 days): 7.36%*(365/60) = 44.76%
Yesterday's closing price was $34.54, so the Apr 35 is currently (just barely) out of the money (OTM).
