Just when the market turns down from resistance, we get a day like today. Yesterday the Dow closed down about 80-some points, today it has earned it all back. Yes, it's early in the day, but lets see how the trades are looking...

CLF Dec 95 Calls- $4.50, paid $2.70 (nice!)
UNH Dec 60- $1.55, paid $1.30
THE Dec 45- $0.90, paid $1.60 (ouch!)
PD Dec 135- $7.50, paid $2.1o (congrats!)
LLY Dec 50- $0.35, paid $0.80 (Hmmm...)
GCI Dec 65- $3.90, paid $2.00

Our cost basis (premium wise) totaled $10.50 per share to get into these options, as of now our cost basis is totaling $18.60. Lets update our sell strategy....

I only have three concerns, LLY, GCI, and THE. THE found a recent support and bounced today at roughly $41...if it breaks $41 we will exit. LLY we will exit today on a bullish breakout. I will put in a limit order to sell at $0.40 and see if I can exit at a 50% loss. Last one...GCI. It appears to be about done. I am watching the candle patterns for a signal, or any strength in the stock for an excuse to exit with nearly double our initial investment. As far as the other trades are concerned....LET YOUR PROFITS RUN!
