Update Transaction - Best Buy (BBY)

Unfortunately, Best Buy has not rebounded from its fall after the earnings release. I decided to just go ahead and sell a $38 call in order to at least get some premium while waiting for it to rebound. I thought it best to do so now because option premiums are very quickly decreasing for July both as a result of the shorter time to expiration and a decreasing VIX. The new purchase metrics are below:

6/12/2009 -- Bought 100 BBY @ 37.54
6/12/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 BBY July $39 Call @ 1.54
6/12/2009 -- Bought To Open 1 BBY June $35 Put @ 0.6
6/18/2009 -- Bought To Close 1 BBY July $39 Call @ 0.50
6/18/2009 -- Sold To Close 1 BBY June $35 Put @ 1.1
6/23/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 BBY July $38 Call @ 0.20



The important purchase metrics are below for insight into possible profit and loss (these all include commissions):
Stock Purchase Cost: $3660.00


Downside Coverage: None
Possible Max Upside: 6.11%

Annualized Max Upside: 61.96%
