4/6 Morningline: Holdings

My holdings are -- well -- pretty much eroded as a result of my April iron condors going bad.

Among my dividend plays, AOD is still on the rise. NLY and JNK have paused amidst a drop. I'm figuring out whether to sell JNK or not. I plan to hold NLY for awhile to avoid taking the loss.

My April covered call, MCO, is trading about 40¢ above the strike price.

And my May bull call spread on HPQ is trading in the middle of Monday's range.

I have one zombie stock, PALM, the remains of a covered call gone horribly awry. It's not gaining, but it's also not losing, and the macd is strengthening. This is a stock that encourages the analyst to grasp at straws.
