Closed Summary for Oct13 Expiration

I've decided to post a summary of closed positions rather than post each individual position as I have in the past. This not only saves me time but also reduces the number of blog posts. The only time I'll post individual closed positions is when a position has more than one trade so that you can see the trade history. For all single trade positions, only a summary will be posted.

The following CSP positions expired and were closed. All prices include IB commissions.
