Earnings beat by .05 @ .53 , but that didn't stop the stock from dropping 20% last month. Took the opportunity to roll out and down my May 47.5 puts to the Sep 40 strike for a small credit to get out of the way for a while. Now about 23 / share in cash and still a profitable company. Will open another round of CC's and maybe some Jun puts in the 35-37.5 area.
