Hi,

A couple of questions:

Isn't STRA a bit risky now that the group seems to be in down trend?

Regarding TBT, what would contribute to US Treasury to go down?

What do you think of Altria (MO) as a CSP candidate?

Thanks in advance!

Re: STRA it all depends on your meaning of risk. I sold a put 46% below fair value, which I consider low risk.

Re: TBT, interest rates can't go much lower so I don't see much risk in TBT.

Re: MO, good solid company, dividend champion, but currently overpriced (i.e. over fair value).
