RMBS - Adjustment

The following adjustment was made today on RMBS:

27-Dec-06 - Buy Back & Roll Out/Down - BTC 2 Jan07 25.00 Call @ -0.16
27-Dec-06 - Continued Trade - STO 2 Feb07 22.50 Call @ 1.04

The Jan07 25 Call had very little time value left so I bought it back and rolled out to Feb07 and down to the 22.50 strike. RMBS was down as much as 73% in Aug06. By dollar cost averaging I reduced the cost basis to $26.55. This position is currently down about 29% from the new cost basis, excluding option premiums.
