Closing Trade – calendar put spread

Stock / Symbol: [private_monthly]Las Vegas Sands / LVS [/private_monthly]
Option Strategy: calendar put spread

Date trade entered: Jun 21
Price at trade entry: $38.65
Price at this adjustment: $45.86

Reasoning: We added this position at a point when it looked like LVS was stuck in a rut and looked to generate some income to offset our long calls. However, this stock's recent price action + good news coming out of Macau, has changed our outlook to a more positive one. We are therefore closing this portion of the trade out for a relatively small dollar loss.
