I have taken losses....I loss about ($780) on RIMM, ($1,730) on DNA calls that I closed just days ago, and ($100) on JPM puts too. Like you said...
WLP had that chance of +8% and it made a +6.5% move. Well not as high as I thought, but I still made a nice trade on WLP. I bought those 20 WLP...

Amazing, those JPM puts traded as high as $4.80, I missed a big winner by 1 day. Interesting. Well, I'm still holding IBM and DNA calls.
Sold those JPM puts this morning at $1.44 for a loss of ($100). Well, I liked my loss as I thought it was down the drain and it was at the open...
lol, loose canon. There's no getting cocky here, I took a nice loss and took some time off late last year before starting again in December. Right...
