Kraft Foods Stock has been in my portfolio since 2008 when it was simply Kraft Stock and traded under the symbol KRFT. On October 2012 Kraft splits into two divisions following their recent acquisition of Cadbury. There are two divisions. Kraft Foods Group which operates almost exclusively in North America and Mondelez International which operates in 165 countries around the world. Both have their head offices in the United States.
I am trading both stocks. Mondelez Stock which trades under the symbol MDLZ is a members only trade. 2013 trades in MDLZ Stock can be reviewed here. All members only strategy articles on MDLZ Stock can be reviewed through this link.
Kraft Foods Group changed its symbol to KRFT from KFT and it now trades on the NASDAQ.
Since I have been trading in Kraft stock since 2008, I am moving the revenue generated since 2008 into the Kraft Foods Stock trades. Mondelez Stock earnings are separate and started in January 2013 from a zero balance.
Kraft Foods Stock Investment Strategy
The investment strategy for Kraft Foods Stock (KRFT) is unchanged from past years. I am primarily Put Selling at what I believe is fair value and if assigned shares, I will collect the dividend and sell covered calls to be exercised out of the stock. The second strategy in use is the Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade which if you are a FullyInformed member you can review through this article. Between these two strategies I am expecting good returns in Kraft Foods Stock. I will at times be trading both and at other times just one or the other.

Should the stock fall lower and I be assigned at $47.50 my average cost basis will be $48.75 which is excellent for call selling until the stock recovers.
