I received a lot of emails this morning asking me what I thought about Put Selling within HPQ Stock. Since the collapse of HPQ Stock the put premiums have been simply superb but many investors have stayed away from Put Selling for fear of being assigned shares. Instead consider that there is a way to safely do Put Selling  against HPQ Stock and earn those juicy put premiums while avoiding stock ownership.

Hewlett-Packard Stock has had a rough 12 months. Feb 23 2012 it was trading for $27.00 and then commenced a decline of 56.7% to $11.71 on November 20. In 2011 Hewlett-Packard Stock reached over $48 and in 2010 it traded as high as $54. HPQ Stock has certainly fallen and many Put Selling investors have been assigned shares along the way. But they needn’t have been if they had followed this strategy to safely done Put Selling within the decline of HPQ Stock.

Put Selling Fear Of Ownership

Since the decline to just below $12.00 HPQ Stock has managed to recover back to $18.75 at the time of writing this article (Feb 22 2013 mid-morning). From the lows of roughly $12, this marks a 60% move back up. Put Selling during this period provided exceptional returns of often 3% to 4% in a month but many Put Selling investors stayed away fearful that the decline was not over and they would end up assigned shares.

Basically Hewlett-Packard really needs a strong shake-out and a better focus on what it wants to do. Just like Dell, Hewlett-Packard has been hurt by companies like Lenovo Computers. Lenovo laptops have received not only high praise by independent reviews but also a variety of awards.
