NSC - New Position
A new position was established today on Norfolk Southern Corp (NSC). The following is the trade information, including IB commissions:
25-Jun-09 - Initial Put Option - STO 1 Jul09 38.00 Put @ 1.10
25-Jun-09 - Cash to Secure Put - CSP 100 NSC @ 38.00
Norfolk Southern Corp is a fundamentally solid narrow moat company, with 8 out of 10 years of positive cash flow, and 7 consecutive years of dividend increases.
I analyzed doing either a covered call (CC) or a cash secured put (CSP) and decided to do the CSP, since it had a slightly better profit than the CC.
