Closing Trade
12-4-2012
expiration date: 12-21-2012
Portfolio weighting: 9.2% down to zero

Sell 30 December, 2012 (SPY) $137 Puts at?????$0.92
Total Loss: $2.85 (average) - $0.92 = $1.93
($1.93 X 100 X 30) = $5,790, or 5.79% for the notional $100,000 model portfolio.
I?m using this dip to take off my downside hedge that protected my long (SPY) 1/$131-$136 bull call spread. I doubt we?ll get sell offs below the $136 strike by the December 21 expiration from here on. The trend for the market is up at least until January.
