Assignments: JRCC, SPF, NTI...


Effective assignment prices:

Purchased JRCC shares @ $2.891

Sold SPF @ $8.57

Sold NTI @ $25.40...

Expired NTI $25 Puts, collecting $0.50 per share




Yes! Short NTI Mar 16 '13 $30 Put @ $2.05...


Tomorrow, I'm going to do a covered call on NTI.  As these are American-style options, I don't want to risk getting called today.  It can happen and we all know how evil market makers can get...



Into NTI @ $28.95 (Extended Hours Trade)...


Want to make sure I'm on file for collecting the $1.27 per share in quarterly dividends since my shares got called away!

Closed Out NOR $5 Call @ $0.90...


Gross loss of $0.05...

Will consider current NOR position as a sort of "averaging in" type of play that pairs up with my existing CENX position.

For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer...



Out of XIN @ $4.632...


More or less +18%...


Be My... Market Maker!


My NTI $25 call is -1,025.92% so far...  My market maker must be laughing all the way to the bank!
