Investors & Friends:

Here's a summary of our investment actions from the past week.

Option Strategies - Covered Calls

1) EMC Corp (NYSE: EMC) - We sold Mar '13 $23.00 calls.

Short Strategies

2) We closed out our short position in Herbalife Ltd (NYSE: HLF) on 2/19 @ $38.14 for a 0% gain (or break-even). We closed out our short position because the short thesis that HLF is a pyramid scheme masquerading as a legitimate multi-level-marketing company became more murky with Carl Icahn, Dan Loeb, and others going long HLF and attempting to take the company private a possibility.

Return calculation = ($38.14 open price - $38.14 close price) / $38.14 open price x 100% = 0%.

The date we opened the trade was 12/20/12.
