Trading Position CSCO 10/17/11

Closed the Oct 14 Puts for a penny and will wait until earnings are over before putting on any new positions. Would like to get back into the weekly series when doing so.

Still underwater on this setup, but have had better success in short term trading the stock as opposed to writing options.

The trades posted here are used specifically in an options trading position and are not reflective of what also may take place overall in swing & daytrading CSCO where the profits / losses won't be applied here and the size of the position much larger and the timeframe much shorter, but every type of trade has its own parameters for risk/reward.
