I analyzed BDE as a potential trade but, while not rejecting it, put off opening a position. See "BDE: Bullish on mountains" for the analysis.
This is my day to close off options positions expiring in January. Friday is the final day they can be traded. I've closed three bear positions, COG, INTC and KO.
INTC had a loss. COG and KO were profitable. I closed them to guard against a sudden reversal in the next four days that would lead to exercise, dumping tons of short shares into my account. No results, of course, until I decide whether to roll these positions forward or remove them from the Roll List. I calculate and post profits only when no more rolls are possible.
I'm allowing a January bull position, WYNN, to expire for maximum profit.
