I bought IBM at $62,.. 500 shares set a stop loss at $60 and that filled
I sold 5 OCT 60 PUTs early in day and got $2.4. I sold another 5 PUTS later and got $3.10. Even later in the day, sold 10 Calls OCT 60 for $3.50.
I may not have a 100% guarantee about making a positive return if IBM stays between $54 and $66 on Oct 19, but as least I wouldn't be second guessing my trades today until it hits $54 or $66 <g>
