Sell 5265 BHP @ 9.84
Well BHP is certainly powering along. But I need the money quickly and the change from Hartley’s to my new broker Tricom is going slow. So even though I think it has some legs I want out.

Sell & Buy 5265 BHP @ 8.60
I haven’t heard if this deal went through at the market close but I assume it did. I basically sell and buy back at the same price thereby chrystalising some losses on BHP for the end of financial year. The options trades have been profitable so the entire position wasn’t too bad until this week.…

BHP Apr 9.73 Calls expire worthless
BHP Apr 9.73 Calls expired worthless today. I wouldn’t mind being exercise at $9.73 but it was not to be. Hartleys shutting down is a major pain as it makes trading difficult, plus I need to re-establish all the trading and margin accounts.

CSR update
I was reviewing my watchlist and realised CSR has been trading 6.40-6.60 recently. I sold out in November at 5.56. Trading doesn’t always win.
