I successfully executed my strategy with ANR, by buying back the August call, waiting for a rise in the ANR share price, and reselling the call. This has essentially netted me an additional 1% gain if the position is called away at August expiration. Although I dont have high expectations of ANR being called away at expiration, I also do not foresee a share price decrease below $20. The new profit/loss info is below:
