re diversification

I'm still overweight, though I may shave back before leaving the country at the end of the month. I think a good earnings surprise would be a possible opportunity for lightening. June is a long way off, and there's plenty of opportunity for news lulls to allow a price slump.

I have a client with a project in the UK that will put me there for just over two weeks. It's not as long a trip as the one that had me in the south Atlantic last June, but it'll be interesting. Transit time will be a whole lot better.

Take care,

PS those 90 puts I sold last quarter don't look as dumb now, and the 80 calls I wrote for this month seem pretty safe. It's the puts that have been exercised that have driven up my holdings last year, though they're all nicely in the black. Though I wasn't excited to hold shares put to me at 90 when the stock flirted with the 70s late Dec. Putting up with red positions, though, is why my put-to-me-at-80 shares from last January are still in my inventory, and looking good.
