Update Transaction - Alpha Natural Resources (ANR)

Unfortunately, ANR is continuing to be a pain in my side. This may mostly be due to the fact that the market is making me ever more hesitant to create new positions, because I am not yet ready to believe we are completely out of the water when it comes to market drops. I am going to start slowly transitioning my covered call strategy to more conservative stocks which still have quality option premiums in order to keep my sanity. Today I sold a June $27.50 call which would leave me with essentially no gain if in the money at expiration. This decision was mostly made to lower my cost basis, while also making it more likely that the position would be called away. Unfortunately, my old nervous trading ways got a hold of me again, and so I bought back the call when the stock started to rise again, and sold the June $30 call which would leave me with more downside risk but also the possibility of making some money. After all of this trading, I plan to keep the position the way it is. The new purchase metrics are below:
