New LLEN trade !!!!
So the account bought back the Dec $10.00 call it owned (for a 2% profit) and sold the Jan 11 $12.50 call for $1.15.
This brings the cost basis of the LLEN stock to $10.95. This was compiled by taking the stock purchase cost $9.79 per share plus the purchase of the previous call at $2.65 minus the call revenue recieved from the Dec $10 call of $0.40 and the Jan 11 $12.50 call of $1.00. These amounts are after commissions are considered.
LLEN trade ended...in GREEN
The account continues to be able to increase its ability to be able to capitalize on money making opportunities with the call selling area. This is the first time the account was able to buy back an option before expiration in order to go on to another trade.

Codes for call selling action
Red - The stock has fallen to the stop. Sell The Call will close the trade for a loss and move on to the next trade.
Orange- This means that the trade has not produced a profit. The stock is in between the stop and the strike price but has yet to produce a profit. Also, the call time value might not have fallen enough to give the trade a profit. It could also be a combination of the two. This is an area where the account will be looking to either sell another call on the stock at expiration or close the trade for a loss and move on to the next trade.
Green - The trade is now profitable. This means that the call time value has shrunk enough to make the trade profitable, the stock has risen high enough to make the trade profitable, or a combination of the two have made the trade profitable. The account will have the ability to close the trade for a profit before expiration if desired and move on to the next trade.

EDMC up while industry down
EDMC had a 10+% day today after earnings were released while the rest of the industry got hammered. This was clear with the investigation into Apollo Group. Management abilities might also be the cause for the difference.
The stock also flew past the $12.50 call strike price. That should create some support at the $12.50 level as there are call holders wanting that profit.
The trade is going well. Eleven trading days left!
Earnings release on EDMC
Education Management Corporation released their quarterly earnings. They earned $0.25/share which was three cents higher than the consensus. Details are below.
The stock has gone up to the $12.75 range.
The call bid value is in the $2.80 range. The time value for the call is almost gone.
