Update Transaction - Direxion 3x Small Cap Bear (TZA) (10/19/2009)

As mentioned in my post on October 2009 expirations, the put I had sold in TZA was assigned as the current price was below the strike price. The stock managed to stay in the middle of the put spread I had put in place. I decided to sell a lower strike call on the new stock position, as I am neutral to bearish on the overall market at the moment. Since this stock is a triple-leveraged position, it is better to be safe than sorry, as a 5-10% increase in the overall market could wreak havoc on the position. The new profit/loss info is below:

9/14/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 $12.50 Strike Oct Put @ $1.10
9/14/2009 -- Bought To Open 1 $10 Strike Oct Put @ $.25
10/16/2009 -- Stock Bought @12.50
10/19/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 $11 Strike Nov Call @ 1.10
