05/01/15’s Buys and Sells Alert at 09:23PST

This is NOT a standard TtP-S Trade. It is the result of a (lucky) CC experiment on a stock that went up rather wildly. Would have done MUCH better percentage wise with a simple GTC sell.

OTOH, Because I decided to bail (by buying back the deep in the money CC on a sharp drop down day, and then selling the stock on a sharp up move I managed to eek out a good return. BUT,

It COULD WELL have gone badly. Won’t be doing this again. SHOULD have let the first sold CC expire with assignment and accepted the reasonable (and safe/expected) return—as pointed out by Greg in another post.
