December ended well for the portfolio. Was up 2.8%. Main contributors were MSFT which we closed, time spreads/bullish calls on GOOG, and strangle on TIF . Some other pairs that were held for a very long time showed some signs of life as well.Ex:- KRC/EQR pair, GDP/TLM pair. Both were closed with overall loss. But the losses were reduced quite a bit in December. The drag was PNR/PLL, and the short on MAR which is continuing to hurt. The HPQ/ORCL spread opened at the end of December started making money from day one. This pair is now approaching our close out ratio.
