AVP - Adjustment

The following adjustment was made today on Avon Products Inc (AVP). All prices include IB commissions.

AVP rose over 20% today on positive earnings. I got busy yesterday and didn't have time to buy back the Feb13 16.00 Call before earnings. So, today I rolled it out to Jul13 16.00 Call for a net credit to avoid assignment.

CriteriaValue

Fair Value Estimate$15.00**
Target Buy Price$7.50
Target Margin of Safety50.00%
Actual Buy Price$26.00

*The dividend was lowered and AVP was deleted from the Dividend Contenders list.

**Fair Value was lowered from $36 to $15 since inception, which turned my 27.78% Margin of Safety into a 73.33% Premium.
