Unwinding Two: F and WFC

As I sometimes do when Rescue My IRA is having a profitable month overall – and there have been several in a row, as a matter of fact – I will take advantage of some gains to prune some underperforming positions.  This month, I’ve unwound five positions for gains:  CMI, DIS, MAT, MRK, and WFC; I’ll report on WFC today and combine that with F, which I unwound for a loss last week.

Here is the record on the two positions, net of fees and commissions:

Options:
Total options income:   $398.43
