January's put profit

ATPG just keeps on bringing me cash, it is up $1.3 today, up 8%, trading at 16.93 now. Look at the shares I was assigned over the weekend and the premium I collected when I sold the put, that is amazing. I am planning to realize the short term profit soon.

I believe today's jump is due to Barron's article I posted here over the weekend, but the underpinning facts are:

1. ATPG got a new permit (not the one everybody is holding breath for).
2. High oil price.
3. Helix Inks Agreements for Deepwater Containment System in the Gulf of Mexico: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Helix-Inks-Agreements-for-prnews-3417248777.html?x=0&.v=1
4. Obama is at least trying to be more friendly with business community, permits are coming.
5. Short interest has been going down continuously.
