INTERCNTNTLEXCHANGE,ICE

Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) closed yesterday at $118.36. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $49.69 and 52-week high of $121.93. Intercontinental Exchange stock has been showing support around 112.86 and resistance in the 121.12 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bullish and S&P gives ICE a neutral 3 STAR (out of 5) hold rating. ICE appears on the Investors Observer Volume Leaders list. For a hedged play on this stock, look at an Aug '09 115 covered call (IHH HC) for a net debit in the $107.86 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 53 day duration, provides 8.87% downside protection and a 6.62% assigned return rate for a 45.59% 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 ICE Jan '11 17.50 Call (VWU AW) and selling the Aug '09 115 call (IHH HC) for a $90.20 debit. The trade has a 53 day life and would provide 9.01% downside protection and an 8.09% assigned return rate for a 56.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only).
