Closing Transaction - Direxion 3x Financial (FAS) (7-23-2009)

After FAS had quite a run-up since its reverse split, I decided to exit this position in order to free-up some cash to possibly enter new positions. As has been the case with all of my other FAS positions this one again yielded quite fantastic annualized returns. With the new share price of FAS, I am unsure if I will continue to use it in the CCIP, because any position I held would be about 20% of my total portfolio, which is a little to much exposure for me at the moment. I may try employing a new strategy such as a bullish put spread (selling a put 5-10% below the current price, and buying a put 15-20% below the current price). The final profit info is below:

5/21/2009 -- Bought 100 FAS @ 9.045
5/21/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 FAS June $10 Call @ 0.86
