One stock that has helped push my Canadian Portfolio toward a 15% return this year is Canadian National Railway Stock. The stock has provided some excellent profits but most of the credit has to go to the Weekly Wanderer Strategy. Although this strategy is designed for just a couple of weeks of trading data, it can still be used to assist in selling options, both calls and puts, out further than a couple of weeks.

With CNR Stock I have used the Weekly Wanderer Strategy continually to pinpoint option strikes to sell for income, that are out one to two months in time. It is understanding the importance of protecting capital from loss that makes using the Weekly Wanderer Strategy so significant. Its signals are the key to successfully trading CNR Stock without loss of capital.

CNR Stock Chart

You can see in the chart from February that the all-time high on Feb 19 of $88.89 has not been recovered. Indeed the attempt to break through in the middle of March was rebuffed and the stock since then has followed the classic patterns of lower highs and lower lows, which is indicative of a stock in steady decline.

With the stock now down 10.9% since that all-time high, you would think it would begin to turn around. However the Slow Stochastic has shown the stock as deeply oversold since March 26 which is now a month. Those signals are still showing the stock as deeply oversold today.

CNR Stock Gloom Equals Bigger Portfolio Profits

Yet despite the gloom surrounding the continued decline, my trades are generating great profits as the volatility of the decline keeps put and call premiums elevated. Trading against these fat option premiums is rapidly increasing the income being earned. In short, the Weekly Wanderer Strategy allows me to trade throughout the decline, earn higher returns and continue to work toward protecting my capital from any losses.
