Verizon is getting the iPhone

Verizon is finally getting the iPhone. This is a good time to do a buy-write on Verizon. It has a forward PE of 13, yields 5.4%, and recently announced a 100M share buyback.

Buy 100 VZ @ $36.35:          ($3,635)

Sell 1 Jan 13 $40 call:             $215

Sell 1 Jan 13 $35 put:             $525

--------------------------------------------------
Total outlay: $2,895

total return if >$40 in Jan 2013: ($365 appreciation + $215 +$525 + $390 dividends) = $1,495 or 52% on a stock that needs to go up by 10% in 2 yrs.

Breakeven:  31.98 or 12% lower than today's price
