Molycorp: All Right You Kids, Everybody Out of the Pool (MCP)

With the stock down 4.4% on the day at $45.25, I think we've squeezed as much fun out of this trade as we can.
The stock obliged us with a 24% decline in 15 days.
The January 55 puts tripled and there is probably more risk than reward in holding on any longer. If you have the Feb. 50's you're on your own.
Here's the recap:
