5/10 Morningline: Holdings

A march through my holdings, short and sweet: The May options bull positions are all up, GE the most, by nearly 8%, CIEN trailing the pack at about 3%.

Dividend plays also up. Special situation PALM, a takeover that I'm holding pending lawsuits, is down a bit, and MCO, a zombie position, is down nearly 8% on a notice of an adverse SEC proceeding against the company.

Despite the steep moves, there are no parabolic sar phase switches today.
