Summary:
Did well Monday and Tuesday and then things started to slip. Seems I lost about 3.3%
For the week I added yet more CMO and SNEN and some NRF-B on the premise I would sell the NRF put to me last week. I have a sell order in for the NRF, but hasn’t been executed yet. I dumped my remaining RICK since, as mentioned last time, I think will recover later than other things. I sold some GREXF for tax reasons. I also shorted some PCLN and bought some ALSWF and closed my TOL short.
