I am wrapping up trading early today in order to meet a commitment.

I entered no new positions today but exited two.

In exiting  GM and RRC today, I completed my March options, except for remnant of SU, which is so deep into profitable territory that it in untradeable.

An order to exit CRM at my target price has not yet been filled. If it should be, I shall update Outcomes after the closing bell.

No positions to enter today, as the earnings season winds down.

I exited my position on MO this morning, for a loss. It was well out of the money and I wanted to avoid all risk of assignment as the ex-dividend date approaches. I shall update the analysis later today.
