Today, the Covered Calls Advisor decided to establish a new 100% Cash-Secured Puts position in Mylan Inc. (MYL) with an Aug2011 expiration. Mylan Inc. is a leading manufacturer of generic pharmaceutical products
in finished tablet, capsule and powder dosage forms. MYL markets more than 1,000 products throughout the world with sales from: North America 53%, Europe
33%, and Asia/Pacific 14%. Generics account for about 90% of total revenues, with specialty products representing the balance. As patents continue to expire over the next few years for many successful branded drugs, Mylan is well-positioned to capture a significant share of new generics which bodes well for its future growth rate.

Two possible overall performance results(including commissions) for the Mylan Inc. (MYL) transaction would be as follows:
100% Cash-Secured Cost Basis: $11,500.00

= ($22.98-$23.00)*500 - $8.95 commissions
(c) Capital Appreciation (If MYL stock above $23.00 at Aug2011 expiration): -$8.95
