Friday's Outcomes

I exited an options earnings play on WMT for a profit.

I declined a full analysis of FE as an options volatility play because of low implied volatility. See Friday's Agenda for a discussion.

I entered six shares small-lots positions: AM, ANW, COHR, LNTH, LOGI and PCH. I exited six: CPA, HSBC, RM, SIMO SPAR and TSE. See Friday's Small Lots for details.
