WHY I CLOSED this CCW Trade > wanting to just close this one as the markets had fallen and MMM wasnt falling as much so IF a late day rally came it seemed to surely rally above my strike ... so I pay the 0.10 cents and we move on... ROLL Monday!!!

WHY I CLOSED this PMCC CCW Trade > this one was scary BUT I bought back and made a tiny krum ... but here's what I kicked myself ... I could have bought back for 0.07 cents ... instead I played chicken, left my computer for a jog and came back and had to buy back double the cost as I had to leave for a fam event ... ugh! Anyway, no shares taken, we move on, will ROLL Monday
