COST - Closed

The Costco Wholesale (COST) Dec12 85.50 Put expired and the position was closed. All prices include IB commissions.

This CSP position was initially established at the $92.50 strike but the put strike was adjusted to $85.50 due to a special $7 dividend on 12/06. This lowered my cost basis which increased the percent return.
