Profit from 52-Week Highs in Healthcare

The healthcare industry is a hot topic of late. Reports show that the industry is hiring, balance sheets show decent cash reserves and there is pricing power. With the aging population in the U.S., the demographics for the sector look favorable for some time. Firms in this sector will continue to benefit, no matter how the health care bill breaks down or changes. Cigna Corp. (NYSE: CI ) is one of the largest publicly-traded employee benefits organizations in the U.S. Its market cap is $11.5 billion, shares are trading near a 52-week high at $43.48 and earnings are scheduled for the week of May 2. Our outlook for healthcare is positive. For options trading investors we recommend a Buy Write (~covered call) option strategy: Buy CI shares: $43.35 Sell CI Jul 46 Calls at $1.21 With a closing price of $43.35 an investor could purchase 100 shares of CI and sell 1 Jul 46 Call at 1.21. (Remember 1 option equals 100 shares of stock). Cost basis: $43.35 x 100 shares = $4,335 – ($1.21 x 1 x 100 = $121). $4,335 – $121.00 = $4,214. This strategy allows the investor to generate income by selling the call but also limits the potential upside. As long as the stock stays below the strike price of 46 at July expiration, the investor gets to keep the $121 premium. However, if the stock at expiration is higher than strike price then the upside potential is limited. Stock price $43.35 – $1.21 = $42.14 (break even point on long stock position). $42.14 – 46 strike price = $3.86/$42.14 = 9.1%. This trade offers a maximum return of 9.1% for your money invested through July expiration. Stutland Equities is a premier futures and options trading company on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

Kindle, Nook Find Safe Haven in Google’s Android

The Kindle and Nook e-reading devices may be selling just fine, but there’s no escaping the fact that their makers, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS ), respectively, need to move forward or watch their business become an unusual footnote in the history of e-commerce. From one perspective, both book retailers have already started to make the same move — finding safe haven for the Nook and Kindle brands in the arms of Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android operating system. A Thursday report at All Things Digital said that Barnes & Noble is finalizing plans to introduce Android apps to its Nook store. Later this spring, Android developers will be able to host their free and paid apps on the Nook, with the same revenue-sharing model as in Android and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) app store. With 70% of each sale going to the developer and 30% going to Barnes & Noble (not to mention a significantly smaller user base than what’s offered by Android smartphones), the Nook doesn’t represent a dramatic new opportunity for developers. It is, first and foremost, a move that will keep Barnes & Noble’s device relevant to consumers that have quickly grown accustomed to having a wealth of entertainment options on their handhelds. Unlike Barnes & Noble, Amazon is adopting Android in reverse. The company opened its own devoted app storefront on the Android operating system. Although the Kindle brand and bookstore remain separate from Amazon’s own app store, it seems unlikely that Amazon would allow its next updated Kindle to hit the market without its own app store present. But do these moves portend that the Kindle and Nook will naturally evolve into tablet PCs? And is that a wise move? E-readers are, of course, much cheaper to produce than tablets. iSupply has put the production cost of an iPad 2 at $325.60. The Kindle, meanwhile, cost about $185 to make last year, a price that’s undoubtedly gone down since. Provided that production costs stay low, both Amazon and Barnes & Noble can afford to introduce the next generation of their e-reader without a need to offer full tablet functionality and still maintain sales. It’s hard to imagine either company competing full bore in the struggling Android tablet market. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab and Motorola’s (NYSE: MMI ) Xoom (which has sold a measly 100,000 tablets since its February release) have failed to make any inroads against the iPad. With their e-bookstores already on available tablets, it simply doesn’t make sense for either company to get into the tablet game, even as their devices come to increasingly support Android. A scenario does exist, however, that could indefinitely prolong the life of the e-reader.  Based on declining Kindle prices, Wired co-founder Kevin Kelly has predicted that Amazon will make its e-reader free by November 2011 , possibly as part of its Amazon Prime membership service. If it does, Barnes & Noble would likely follow suit, making Nook a free part of its Barnes & Noble Rewards program. Free Android-powered, e-readers that fuel digital book sales? That’s one way to survive the iPad. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.
