Technical indicators for the stock are Bullish and S&P gives COH a very positive 5 STAR (out of 5) strong buy rating. COH appears on the Investors Observer Hedged Dividend Income list. For a hedged play on this stock, look at a Feb '10 33 covered call (CKO BG) for a net debit in the $30.23 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 109 day duration, provides 9.03% downside protection and a 9.16% assigned return rate for a 30.68% annualized return rate (comparison purposes only). A lower cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase. To use this strategy look at going long the COH Jan '11 17.50 Call (VZF AA) and selling the Feb '10 33 call (CKO BG) for a $13.50 debit. The trade has a 109 day life and would provide 6.71% downside protection and a 14.81% assigned return rate for a 50.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only). Coach has a current annual dividend yield of 0.91%. [ATU-Seven Summits Research]
