Update Transaction - United States Natural Gas (UNG)

After a large increase in the share price of UNG in the beginning of September, I decided I had slightly over reacted by selling a $12 call for January, and decided to roll my January CC up to a $13 strike increasing my potential profit from near zero to a respectable number. 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
9/10/2009 - Bought To Close 1 UNG January $12 @ 0.9
9/10/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG January $13 @ 1.29

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: 5.49%

Annualized Max Upside: 11.25%
