Sold AAPL calls
Sold my AAPL 2013 $330 calls for $93. Better to regret not making as much money than to regret losing money, I say.
Sold IWM puts
Sold my IWM August $81 puts @ $10.40. This was the bear fraction of a put spread I started in March. The bull fraction was closed in May.

Sold PHYS, UPL, BPI, FNF, HNR, EPM
Well, that was bracing.
Every one of my stop-loss orders triggered today.
Sold PHYS @ $14.09
Sold UPL @ $43.61
Sold FNF @ $15.50
Sold HNR @ $12.00
Sold EPM @ $7.03
Also sold BPI @ $22.09 (not a stop-loss order--it was up on the day due to news and I booked my profits while I had 'em).
My portfolio is almost exactly 70% cash now.
On the plus side, my old August $81 IWM puts, which were showing a 50% loss as late as yesterday, are now in the money with a 40% gain.

Sold PCL
My sell order on PCL triggered at $37.45.
So, last Wednesday I bought:
DGS (emerging markets dividend ETF), PG (international consumer necessities), PCL (timber), NRT (northern European energy royalty trust), SJT (South American energy royalty trust), BPT (North American energy royalty trust), PEB (US REIT) and PHYS (paper gold).
And of that diversified list of assets, the only one which has outperformed the USD is gold. Gosh. (Oh, the Swiss franc is up, too).
