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 at the same trike, in order to avoid assignment on the CC position.

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