Adjustment: Took in an uncalled return of 7% this week by selling the 65 strike calls last week. We're now rolling the short 65 calls to next week + selling two additional 65 calls. If you have the free capital in your account, you could just let this week's short calls expire worthless and write next week's calls. Adjusting suggested stop to 64.35 [/private_monthly]
