ABT - Closed




The Abbott Laboratories (ABT) Jan11 47.00 Put expired on Friday. Today ABT announced earnings and the stock has declined below $47.00, so I decided to close this position and establish a new CSP at the $46 strike. All prices include IB commissions.

This was the second position on ABT. The first position is a CC.
