I had a number of Apr08 Options expire worthless allowing me to keep the entire Premium  They are listed below for the record.  Note that the total received may be larger than expected because the option may have been rolled out.

As is typical after options expiration I have a lot of new Covered Call activity.  I struggle with how to record this activity in a fashion that does not overly burden either myself or my readers.  This month I will just provide a list of the trades without additional commentary unless there is something I’d like to share in which case I will make a separate post.  You may use the search box to see related posts for a particular stock.  I invite your comment on this method.
