Sold BBVA Puts

I sold 3 BBVA $7 July 21 '12 Puts @ .55
Net proceeds (after commission) = $152.73

This is obviously a very speculative play.  The 52-week low/high is 7.02/13.01.  I believe most of the near-term risk is already priced in.  If these get assigned I will get 300 shares for an average cost of $6.49/share.  I already own 105 shares at a cost of $9.48.  Total I'll have 405 shares at an average cost of  $7.27.

BBVA is a 39 billion market cap company at today's prices.  They are currently slightly larger than Bank of Montreal.  They have a lot of exposure to Spain.  They have been buying up smaller banks recently and they already own a U.S. bank, Compass Bank, that they paid 9.6 Billion for in 2007.  I banked with Compass for 10 years before being bought and they have always been well run and profitable.  I believe there could be more downside but most of the risk is priced in.  I also believe BBVA will do well in the longterm (5+ years).  

Their dividend payments have been sporadic:
