New Trade : JNJ

Stock / Symbol: Johnson & Johnson / JNJ
Price at trade post: $65.35
Option Strategy: [private_monthly] butterfly call spread + protective call[/private_monthly]

Reasoning:[private_monthly] We're going back to JNJ, which does not historically have drastic moves, making it an ideal calendar or butterfly spread candidate. This particular trade is counting on a slight pullback to $65, but has some protection should JNJ move higher than $66. We expect to be out of the butterfly portion of the trade on or before Feb 17 and then to convert the long Jul12 65 call into a calendar call spread.[/private_monthly]
