Today is the options expiration date for Feb2010. The Covered Calls Advisor decided to retain Hewlett-Packard in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio(CCAP) so the covered calls position was rolled out from the Feb2010 $50s to the Mar2010 $50s. For a growth company with the quality and excellent management of HPQ, the value proposition remains intact with its current Price/Sales ratio at only 1.0 and a surprisingly low Price/Earnings ratio of 11.5 (based on projected earnings per share this year of around $4.40).
