Weekly: Long VRX

Another quiet week. I initiate new longs in Valeant Pharma VRX. Bill Ackman dumped the last of his shares. News like that can mark an intermediate or long term low. As always nothing is 100% and I sold out of the money puts.

Here are the trades (p = puts, c = calls, cover means buy to close, number at the end is price per contract.
