...ouch, down a penny. Next time I see a penny on the street I will have to pick it up. Maybe we will see a nickle again on MINE, and then that can be the magic double bottom. The Sears puts did not work out too well--lesson learned. Do not watch TV--especially if Maria Bartiromo is ranting from the floor--while you are actually on the phone with your broker. Thank goodness it was not a very big bet, but flushing a few hundred dollars down the drain for no good reason always smarts. At least there will be no commission to get out...zero being my exit price. Getting out of the dell puts quickly was good though--realize your mistake, swallow your pride, and move on. Oh, the Sears puts were 5 at 1/2...so $250 loss, expiring worthless I am sure.
