The option premiums on RGEN were very high and I sold Jan 5 puts on RGEN as well as buying stock.

I hope you are aware that RGEN has a binary event scheduled for early January - the results of a key trial are likely to be announced. The stock will likely either double or halve depending on the results.

~N had the right idea in abstaining from JE2004. BRCD CPST RGEN VITA are the ones I bought and here are the results from 12/31 - 1/30 closing basis:

BRCD 5.78 6.40 +10.7%
CPST 1.86 2.17 +16.7
RGEN 4.37 3.33 -23.8
VITA 3.21 3.25 +1.2

Average change +0.6%
Nasdaq composite +3.1%

Of the 4 above, I kept VITA and RGEN but I expect all my RGEN will be assigned on Feb options expiration.
