Activision Blizzard, Inc, ATVI

Activision (NasdaqNM: ATVI) ended the last trading session at $11.29. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $8.14 and 52-week high of $19.28. Activision stock has been showing support around 10.98 and resistance in the 11.78 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bearish and S&P gives ATVI a neutral 3 STAR (out of 5) hold rating. ATVI appears on the Investors Observer Volume Leaders list. For a hedged play on this stock, look at a Feb '10 10 covered call (AQV BB) for a net debit in the $9.09 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 222 day duration, provides 19.49% downside protection and a 10.01% assigned return rate for a 16.46% 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.
