With option expiration passing along with Harold Camping's bogus rapture prediction, this is how my portfolio has changed. The Put option I STO against my cash for CPLP was executed, so I am back into the stock where I was Called out of it a month ago. The benefit of this is that I am not subject to the wash sale rule.

CIM didn't move high enough to trigger the Call option order I STO against the existing shares that I do own. This month, I don't think I will attempt to sell against my current shares. However, with favorable conditions I will still be Put into the 300 shares of CIM by next option expiration just before the stock climbs through the 4$ strike price.

DWA moved down even further decreasing the value of my position in it and negating my order to STO a Call option against my shares from ever being put through. I would really like to see this summer's gas prices keep people going to the theaters for entertainment instead of traveling so that I can at least see a premium for STO a call option against my shares, but that is a bias position considering my stake.

That is my opinion, you can take it or leave it. Disclaimer: See bottom of page. http://investorsopinion.blogspot.com/
