The following adjustment was made today on Pacific Sunwear (PSUN):

08-Oct-09 - Interim Trade - STO 4 Mar10 7.50 Call @ 0.44 -

PSUN is my second oldest position and not one of my better stock picks. I bought this back in 2005, before I switched to a value investing approach,
at a price near it's historical high. I averaged down once when it originally started to decline, and then watched it drop about 95% to a low around $1.25, making this my worst investment to date. It got to a point where closing it or holding it just didn't matter, so I'm still holding it. I've recovered about 22% of my original investment so far, and have an annualized income of 5%, which still beats holding cash in a money market account. Will PSUN ever recover? Who knows? But as long as they don't go out of business or get acquired, I'll continue to hold it and squeeze as much option premium out of it as I can, and look for an opportunity to get out at a decent price.
