New Trade: Walgreen's (WAG) Naked Puts

Yesterday in a taxable account I entered into the following transaction:

02/27/2012    STO 4 WAG Mar 17 2012 32 Puts @.23             78.99

Walgreen's is a Dividend Champion, Achiever and Aristocrat. It has been trading in a narrow range and I took advantage of a drop in price to write these puts. If these expire worthless we will earn 3.64% on $2165.25 in margin maintenance or 69.92% annual. If the stock drops it looks like these puts can be rolled down and out for a net credit.
