  PEPSICO INC  (PEP) - 2011 - Year 3
ONGOING EVALUATION & TRADE
While Coca Cola may be number one, PepsiCo is a very diversified company with great earnings, lots of future potential and an excellent dividend. PepsiCo stock is not very volatile and as such the expected return is 10% for the year. This is a long term trade. On any down turn in the stock I will add to my positions.
GOAL: 10% return through option selling. Collecting the income to reduce my own capital requirements when eventually assigned shares. In other words I want to use other people's money to eventually own shares.
OBJECTIVE: Selling puts for income. Buy stock on dips for short term selling. Once assigned shares I will sell covered calls.

ONGOING STRATEGY - SELLING PUTS UNTIL ASSIGNED
* ACTIVE TRADES ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW

    Balance Carried Forward from 2010               9262.75
Jan 4 11 65.40 BTC 5 NP JAN 60.50 @ .08     13.25     (53.25)   9209.50
Jan 4 11 65.40 STO 5 Puts Jan 62.50 @ .28     13.25   31263.25 126.75 0.40 9336.25
Jan 4 2011:   Today I closed the 5 Puts Jan 60. as Pepsi stock has remained steady and the put premiums have evaporated again. At this point I am going to sell the 5 Puts for Jan at $62.50 for an extra .28 cents as the stock technically looks like it will hold above 65 for the next three weeks. I wouldn't recommend this trade but as I have already some Puts at 62.50 and built up 9200.00 in capital, I would roll my Puts should the stock pull back in the next 3 weeks.  .

 

Jan 21 11 65.87 Expiry 9 Puts Jan 62.50 expired                
Jan 26 2011:   Since expiry PepsiCo stock has pulled back. This is getting to be pretty common with so many of my stocks. They run up the day before options expiry and then sell off. The 10 day is showing a possible downward move for Pepsi stock prices. Momentum is just turning negative but MACD is showing a widening negative divergence which could indicate more selling to come. I will watch for a few more days as I really would prefer to stay at the $62.5 strike for my Puts. If I sell now the premium is around  three quarters of a percent but if I wait and the stock pulls back to below 64.00 the 62.50 should be worth over 1%.   .

 

Jan 31 11 64.25 STO 4 Puts Feb $62.50 @ .44     12.00   25012.00 164.00 0.65 9500.25
Jan 31 2011:   The stock has had the pullback but since this is Pepsi I am sure it will take a couple of weeks to get much lower and much meaning to $63.00. Pepsi is a very strong stock so the chance of a major pullback is not high. I sold just 4 Puts today and will keep waiting but the premiums are less than three quarters of a percent for Feb at the 62.50 strike.  .

 

Feb 7 11 63.35 STO 5 Puts Mar $62.50 @ .89
COMMENTS: Finally the stock is down and I have sold out to March for 1.4% - when added to the 0.70% I am pretty close to 1% a month for Feb and March.
    13.25   31263.25 431.75 1.38 9932.00
Feb 18 11 63.41 Expiry: 4 Puts Feb $62.50 expired                
Feb 22 11 62.60 STO 6 Puts Apr $62.50 @ 1.62 expired     14.50   37514.50 958.75 2.5 10890.75
Feb 22 2011:   What a great pullback. Hard to believe the stock hit $62.50 today. I had my sell in right away and did 6 Puts for April as I think PepsiCo stock will recover by then and I wanted to lock in some decent premiums. Meanwhile I still am holding March 62.50 puts which I sold for .89 cents. Once they expire next month perhaps the stock will still be depressed. I kind of doubt that as even the 10 day is already turning flat. Pepsi is a great stock to own so at this level there are lots of buyers.  .

 

Mar 18 11 63.24 5 Puts Mar 62.50 expired               10890.75
Mar 18 2011:   Two sessions ago the stock fell below $62.50 for the second time in a month. I should have bought shares or sold more puts or done something. Today I could see that my Puts were going to expire so I decided to step up and buy 300 shares at $63.10. I am going to hold for a few days and I will close in a week or so. I am still holding April 62.50 Puts. The 10 day SMA has crossed over the 20 day EMA which would indicate the stock is going to recover. Time will tell. .

 

Mar 18 11 63.24 Bought 300 shares @ 63.10 300 63.12 7.00 (18937.00) (18937.00)     10890.75
Apr 5 2011:   With just a couple of weeks and a big move up again today I sold near the close. There may be more upside but this was just a short term trade and I want to lock in my profit on the 300 shares. This frees up my capital and meanwhile I also sold into May at $62.50 for .44 cents. .

 

Apr 5 11 65.50 Sold 300 shares @ 65.50 0   7.00 19643.00 0 706.00 3.7 11596.75
Apr 5 11 65.50 STO 5 Puts May $62.50 @ .44     13.25   31263.25 206.75 0.66 11803.50
Apr 15 11 67.11 Expiry: 6 Puts Apr 62.50 expired                
May 20 11 71.30 May Options Expiry: 5 Naked Puts May $62.50 expired                
May 20 2011:  With my May options expiring, I really believe PepsiCo is way over valued. Coke is doing better than Pepsi and yet it is trading at just 13 X earnings whereas Pepsi is at 19X earnings. I have no interest in owning PepsiCo at such over valued levels. I will not be placing any further naked put trades until it falls back and can push up naked put premiums on the strikes no higher than $65.00. .

 

Jul 21 11 65.00 Bought 500 shares at $65.00     7.00 (32507.00)        
Jul 21 2011:  After waiting 2 months I am finally back into PepsiCo. You can read about today' s trade and my outlook on PepsiCo Stock here. Below is today's movement. From the outset the stock fell and only climbed in the last hour of trading. The is the type of opportunity I look forward to..

Jul 25 2011:  Pepsi Stock continues to sell off and with the overall weakness in the market, the stock is bound to fall further. I am holding puts now at the 65.00, 62.50 and 60.00 level (with today's sell of Oct) and I am stretched out from August to October. As each month progresses, I will roll and keep rolling. Pepsi Stock is pretty strong and I am confident in the stock. It could though easily reach $62.50 is the selling intensifies in the overall market. At that point I would buy back both my $65 and $62.60 puts and roll further out and if possible down a strike each or split the puts into small groups..
