Close Darden Restaurants (DRI)

January 22, 2009

Dear Fellow Options Traders,

On Jan. 20, we recommended you buy the Darden Restaurants (DRI) Feb 22.50 Puts (DRINX) for $1.50 or better.

Last night, the company reiterated its guidance for the year. With some of the earnings uncertainty removed, the stock has moved up today to about $26 per share.

Given the price gap between where the stock is currently trading and how far it would be required to fall for us to be in-the-money by February expiration on Feb. 21, we believe it is time to exercise a stop loss and close this position.

Sell to close the DRI Feb 22.50 Puts (DRINX) for 90 cents or more.

Have a great day trading.
