Watchlist Update – Stocks to Own Screen

Microsoft bought LinkedIn this morning – I don’t see the synergies, but then again – what do I know:

• Bloomberg – Microsoft to Buy LinkedIn in Deal Valued at $26.2 Billion

Also a lot of talk today about Brexit:

• ZeroHedge – ‘Leave’ Takes Shocking 19-Point Lead In Brexit Poll – “If It Happens, Gold Will Be The World’s Strongest Currency”

Not sure I am buying this one – feels a lot like the Greek crisis – suspect they will stay in the EU with some new conditions discussed but never acted upon.

On Friday, I allowed my GILD put contracts to expire – premium collected – $600.00.  Will look to do this again – I want to increase my GILD holdings from 700 shares to 1000 shares.
