TRADE MANAGEMENT:
Near the close I sold the 115/120 Call spread for $1.10 credit. I entered it thinking that the 110 resistance would hold. Plus The 115 strike is one strike OTM, thus giving me more room and time to be correct. Being the idiot I am, I didn't realize that IBM would be reporting earnings after the close.
IBM ended up beating earnings estimates and the stock rallied up to 113.
