Hmmm. I sold some May CSCO 57.5 puts right at the darkest point of April. Thought I could safely ride them through expiration and it looked pretty darn good for a while. Even through CSCO earnings yesterday, I thought it was almost a slam dunk. Well, I put a stop buy in this morning to protect at least half my gain. It may not hit, but with CPI and Greenspan in the week ahead, anything can happen. I am surprised to even be in this spot. This market is not fun.
