Trading summary: driving away with the profits

Today I closed 2 bull put spreads on Magna International.

Here's the brick:




With the price of oil crashing, why would I be exiting the auto-sector?  My moves had done well, and faster than I had expected.  And to top it all off, with the energy market doing what it's doing, I need some capital to defend a position I took on 2 weeks ago, and hopefully make some choice picks when the market finds a bottom.
