Stock (buy and hold) is down 2.9% since last checkpoint on July 02rd 2012.
Strategy is down 3.6% due to option decay (worse than buy and hold).

The stock has been up and down in a range of peaking at 6.14 on July 5th, having a massive sellover to 4.66 on July 26th 2012, then make up to an intermediate peak on 5.94 on Aug 10th. However it has finished the period with no clear direction for the last 2 months. This is frustrating for the married put strategy as no rolling of options was done to lock in gains, and the Dec 2012 put has lost value with all the stock moving around.
