Stan One yor you.
Agree with much of what you said except
Don't look for a div increase for a while. The current payout is well above what their earnings justify. They will keep the current div as they expect their earning to increasae to a point where the current div payout will be justified. Inorder to increase div earnings would probably need to exceed $3.00 share.
Writing 35 calls is probably a good conservative idea. For myself I probably am to bullish but I am buying calls. I dont see much resistance between 31.90 and $40s. Stock tanked straight down from over $44 to $24 in 2 weeks Sept 08. If we can stay solidly above 31-32 then i think its clear sky to 40s.
If we can get above 40 and the news remains positive the chart looks like another clear shot at 60
good luck
