ARNA and the Port24

ARNA had an exciting day. The BLOSSOM results were not quite as good as I hoped - but they will still file an NDA by the end of the year, and should get lorcaserin approval for weight loss.
I expect the shares will be volatile in the next couple months, but should creep upwards to ~$6 or $7 by this time next month.

The Port 24, after options expiration today, is on track.
I was exercised out of the ALTH $7.50 calls, but still have 800 shares that I had sold covered calls against at $10. The $7.50s were very good to me, as I bought the shares at $7.99 and sold the $7.5 strike for $1.65. That is a nice, 14% one month return!
ARNA $6 calls and MELA $10 calls expired, so I was able to keep the full premium (each at around 4%).

The Port is now worth $136,232.09, at a annualized return of 26.8%.
