03/09/2010 – ThetaOptions Margin Portfolio – UAUA June Short Adjusted

What we can we say, an OLD Fashion business model has discovered the cure for cancer while their passengers climb aboard.  Well, at least that’s how the stock is reacting these days.  UAUA is up over 100% in 3 months & is UP 20% in the past 3 weeks, most of that gain has come in the past few days.  We have no clue whether or not the stock will touch 100 by JUNE or not, but we’re going to adjust the JUNE position before it’s too late.
