Pepsico Put Options (PEP)

Probability of success:  76%


9/13/2013

These put options had been in-the-money since 8/21, so I decided to buy them back today and break even.  PEP was just slightly above my strike price when I closed my position this morning.

I bought back my options for $0.54.

Net gain:  $0.98  (breaking even is better than losing money)
