Friday Wrap-Up

I'm going to start posting my YTD performance every Friday afternoon.  I think it'll be a good way for me to look back and check my relative performance week to week along the way.

• Portfolio YTD - up 12.07%
• S&P 500 YTD - up 2.12%

I'll post post the S&P 500 ytd performance as a reference for how the overall market is doing.  I think I must have some alpha in there somewhere, since my portfolio isn't just beta weighted 6 times the S&P.

Without the AAPL call option bluster in January I'd be doing a little better yet.  O well, put the losers behind and learn from 'em.

I also sold my longest dated option yet today, a 2012 AAPL put at a strike of 200 for $29.05.
