Sold WAT puts

Today I wrote 3 $50 November puts on WAT for $2.24 each. Waters makes basic (and very expensive) lab instrumentation, and provides service contracts for their instrumentation. I believe Waters will benefit from future economic recovery; these instruments are useful in quality control for many industries. In the meantime, WAT will earn more through service agreements, as companies make more frequent and more expensive service calls to help their old equipment limp along until they're able to replace it.
