Initial Transaction - General Electric (GE)

The second cash-secured put position in the CCIP was established today. This new strategy is being used in an effort to diversify the income streams in the CCIP. This particular position is a way of getting back into a position I held a couple months ago in General Electric. The stock has not traded under $12 since April, and continues to have positive forward looking indicators; most prominently, the movement towards green technology which GE plays a large part both in wind energy, and water desal. Although I don't have high expectations of this put being assigned, it would give me a cost basis which has not been seen since April 21. The performance metrics are below:
