Update Transaction - United States Natural Gas (UNG)

As I noted in my previous post regarding UNG, it would seem that the bottom has fallen out of natural gas recently. As such, I have decided to focus on simply recouping my losses rather than looking to make a hefty profit. As such I sold a $12 January call which is below my original purchase price. The performance metrics are below:

7/23/2009 -- Bought 100 UNG @ 13.14
7/23/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG July $13 Call @ 0.88
8/22/2009 -- Call Expired
8/30/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG October $14 @ 0.25
9/2/2009 -- Bought To Close 1 UNG October $14 @ 0.18
9/2/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG January $12 @ 0.68

The important purchase metrics are below for insight into possible profit and loss (these all include commissions):
Stock Purchase Cost: $1353.00

Downside Coverage: None

Possible Max Upside: 0.10%

Annualized Max Upside: 0.21%
