SOLD JZV WITH GTC LIMIT ORDER AT 16.25

The 100 shares that you can not see traded for JZV at 16.25 used to belong to me.  I mentioned in a prior post that I placed this order.   It is the TC containing a CNA Financial bond.  I do not have much enthusiasm for CNA but simply thought this bond was being mispriced at my purchase cost which was 12.78 in mid October 2008. TRUST CERTIFICATE CNA BOND JZV

So this is pretty good, I would submit,  with about a 3 1/2 point gain on the security during a difficult period plus 1 semi-annual interest payment.  This one has been traded several times also which means that it is most likely to always be a trade for me rather than a long term hold.  I have never held this one for a year, six months would be a long hold for me for JZV.
