Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Yesterday I initiated a position in DRYS.  Today I am terrified that I own it.  Stupid.  I'm looking for ideas on this one. Buy: 300 @ $11.95 ($7 commission) Initial Investment: $3592.00 Sold: $10 strike @ $2.60 ( $10.75 commission) Net Investment: $2822.75 Expected Return: 5.42% (not anymore) Anyone got advice on what to do?
