We see Woolworths breaking out of the 18 month downtrend and beginning a new technical structure of higher highs and higher lows. We collected call premium over recent time and intentionally left the stock uncovered coming into this result. With the stock now back at our fair value target, we look to sell covered calls at or near the $26 range into November or December.
