Taking Profits Today...

You know what they say " Buy the pull backs, sell the ralley"

I am closing the following positions:

1) 10 short puts on RIMM @ $60 strike Sep 09 expiry. Sold at $3.10 and bought back at $2.17 for a 30% gain.

2) 10 short puts on MSFT @ $17 strike Octt 09 expiry. Sold at $0.58 and bought back at $0.50 for a 13.79% gain.

3) 10 short puts on AA @ $7.5 strike Oct 09 expiry. Sold at $0.67 NS bought back at $0.56 for a 16.41% gain.

I continue to hold my 10 short puts on GE at the $11 strike with Sep 09 expiry. I am up about 62% on this position so far. I am going to take this one all the way to the bank. I sold them orignally for $1.56 per contract and they are currently trading at $0.59 per contract. This is my only position open. I will be very limited on positions I add to my account over the next few months as I finish the training for SMB capital.
