Last Friday was expiration Friday for July 2010. A decision was made today to sell the 300 shares owned in Gap Inc.(GPS). The Covered Calls Advisor has decided to trade out of this position primarily because the June 2010 monthly sales results were unchanged from the same month in the prior year -- this was a disappointment relative to other American teen retailers and the stock was pummeled as a result. Also, the consumer sector will remain well represented in the Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio with the remaining current holdings in Apple, Best Buy, and DSW.
