BTC Adjustments - Weds.

The following positions were BTC today. I normally do not BTC unless 80% of premium is locked within the first 2 weeks of the period. However, I considered the large drop so quick in the period and chance to BTC and then resell to a larger total gain for the month. I will either resell CCs either when the market rebounds or will lower OTM position in next week or two. The returns shown are for the strike price just closed and represent an RIU. They will be updated when a new CC position is established.
