closed the 2 PD Jan05 140p for +$280
bought six (6) more PD MG @ 1.85 (Jan06 135p)
now:
+12 PD MG @ 2.27 (avg.)
-6 PD MF @ 1.90
apparently no one wants to take profits this year --- with only 6 market days left -
I regret not selling another 6 PD MF @ 1.90-200 yesterday--- my gut said to do it - to be 2/1 woth the Jan06 135p -- I was ready to pull the trigger but figured I'd have a 2nd chance today- didn't want to have naked positions overnight on this one - although the plan was to then leg into the 125p strike for <.95 - butterfly the position.
plan is to now close the 6 PD MF for <.90 - then consider staying directional and/or re-selling (4) PD MH at <3.70 - to construct a 3/1 backspread with the 135p.
It is still my inclination that PD gets sold off into the mid-low- 130s after 1/2/06 - and that today's price movement is year-end distribution.
