ARO CC vs CSP - Adjustment

This is an ongoing position in ARO to show that CC's and CSP's are equivalent positions. Today I adjusted both positions by rolling the options out one month and up to a higher strike, in order to avoid assignment on the CC position. As in the last adjustment, the cost basis of the CC position was adjusted to account for intrinsic value of the call vs the purchase price and to keep it the same as the CSP poaition.

Below are the details of both positions. I'll provide ongoing updates as the positions are managed.
