  • GLD was trading around $124ish
  • The stochastics were in the "overbought" region
  • I decided to close my position today
  • Unfortunately, however, the implied volatility was extremely high, so I had to overpay ($2.32) to buy back my short puts.  That's fine.  I just wanted to take my PROFITS.

TOTAL NET PROFIT:  $541.22                   Success!
