Since I did not want to play the news this morning, I closed out of both positions
yesterday by selling my 540's for 12.50 and buying back the 530's for 7, which
gave me $5.50 - $.87 = $4.63 profi


If you had not sold the 530 puts, you would have made 12.50-4.75=7.75 whcih is almost double the 4.63 you made by selling the 530 puts.

Is that because you had twice the number of options??
