| Ticker | Bought | Sold | Months | Return | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .RFYFJ | $13.00 | $11.40 | 3 | -12.3% | RIMM Research in Motion June 150 Calls. This was down 70% last month, came almost all the way back. Sold. |
| .QTCGE | $2.00 | $9.10 | 3 | +355% | TeleTech Holdings Inc. TTEC July 25 Calls. There must have been a stock split I missed; I was showing a purchase price of $13 but I only paid $2. It go all excited and shot up to $11 so I sold it early, but I missed the peak. |
The next trade will be March 26.
