On the last day of the week, prior to the Independence Day weekend, I sold a $7.50July2010 Call option against my stock position of Capital Product Partners, LP (CPLP). The first day after the holiday was a slightly bullish day, but the option value did not close any higher. It is still my opinion that the stock will slide before the option expires. However, if it doesn't, I will be seeing a loss in the stock of about $26 which will be balanced out by all of the dividends I've earned so far and the premium I sold the option for. Although I see some bullish potential in CPLP, I am of the opinion that the market may not be done, pulling back just yet.

My current open orders are a Buy to Close order of the CPLP Call Option I sold, as mentioned above, a Buy to Close order of the iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) I have owned for a while, a Buy order of 10 more shares of EV Energy Partners, LP (EVEP) at price of $27.54 or less, and a Sell to Close order of my 5 contracts position of Citigroup Inc (C).

That is my opinion, you can take it or leave it. Disclaimer: See bottom of page. http://investorsopinion.blogspot.com
