NOTES ON SPRINT (FON)
Covered Call

1. After a large drop at the end of Jan 2003, Sprint
consolidates around $12.00 and trades in a relatively tight
range, around $12.00, for approximately 5 months or until
mid-May 2003. This period is the first opportunity for premium
collection.

2. At the end of May 2003, Sprint trades up to the top of its
trading range in a slow, methodical way, indicating a period of
decreasing volatility

3. Sprint breaks out of old trading range by trading through
resistance set by the 2 highs in February, around $13.25. It
develops a new trading range at the $15.00 level by trading up
in a slow, step like pattern which also indicates a period of
decreasing volatility.

4. Sprint trades around the $15.50 range and really tightens up
around October 2003 thru January 2004. This again, is a long
period of decreasing volatility.

Conclusion: Sprint shows two favorable patterns here that are
friendly to covered call writing. The first is that Sprint shows
the tendency to trade in a tight range for extended periods of
time, as seen in Feb. - May 2003 and Jul. - Dec. 2003. This is
advantageous for premium collection.

The second is that when Sprint does move, it mostly trades up in
a slow, directional type of move, as opposed to gapping (with
the exception of Jan. 2003). These slow upward directional moves
work well for covered call writers in two ways; capital
appreciation and premium capturing.
