Alpha-D Updates for Dec. '09‏

Some of my options expired unexercised over the weekend. I'm always glad to pocket the cash. The remaining option positions (KEX, TDW, ANV, LMT, IYR) remain in place. I've made a few updates for this month.

Sold Jan 10 covered calls on FXI and GDX.

Sold Jan 10 puts under FXI.

Sold Apr 10 puts under COMS.

Sold Mar 10 puts under EFA.

I tried to sell Jan 10 puts under Chattem Inc. (CHTT) due to an all-cash buyout by Sanofi-Aventis (SASY.PA) but this probably won’t get filled.
