Adjustment:[private_monthly] With K touching our upside stop at $51.50, we're going to adjust the trade by buying back one of the short 50 strike calls. This adjustment will enable us to participate in upside profits should the stock continue to rise. If by Jan 20th, K is not much higher than it's current level, we'll look to roll the short calls to February expiration to take in additional premium and lower our cost basis. [/private_monthly]
