The Hershey Company (HSY) Put Sale – 10/19/2026
As you can see in the below chart, The Hershey Company has been on a months-long decline from the $230s to its recent 52-week low near $155 less than a month ago. According to my research, much of this decline has been due to high cocoa prices. Yet despite price increases, Hershey’s products remain in…

Tractor Supply Company (TSCO) Put Sale – 7/17/2026
It’s been nearly two months since our last put sale of TSCO. At the time I noted its recent price decline. What I didn’t know then was that TSCO was just at the beginning of establishing a new, lower price channel. As you can see in the chart below, TSCO has been drilling sideways in…

The Andersons, Inc. (ANDE) Put Sale – 5/19/2026
Today I not only sold a put on The Andersons, Inc., but also two put contracts on TSCO. I’ve been watching the ANDE share price ever since the day after the company’s May 5th after-hours earnings report, after which, on May 6th the share price had declined as much as 18% intraday, and closed down…

Tractor Supply Company (TSCO) Put Sale – 5/19/2026
Along with today’s other put sale of ANDE, I’ve had my eye on Tractor Supply Company for several days. I’ve even placed (unfilled) put sale asks on both over each of the past few days. Each of these candidates have thinly traded option chains with low volumes and wide bid-ask spreads. Today I finally got…

T. Rowe Price (TROW) Covered Call Sale – 5/13/2026
We’ve successfully sold covered calls for income on our T. Rowe Price shares a couple of times before, here and here. Today we have a good setup to try it again. The delta we were able to target today, at .1877 is slightly higher than I’d prefer for avoiding being called away. I feel much…

PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) Put Sale – 9/8/2025
I’ve been keeping an eye on PPG Industries for a while. Today I finally sold a put, garnering a nice premium. Our strike price was $105. Sure Dividend believes at the historical PE multiple of 19.0 that the fair value of this stock is $150, so it would represent quite a discount if we are…
