Update Transaction - United States Natural Gas (UNG)

As per the norm, UNG continues to drag down the CCIP at some points, and pull it up at others. UNG has plummeted from the $12 mark it was near at October expiration to near $9.50. As a result I decided to buy some December $9 put protection for all three positions, as well as buying back a January call for one of the positions which will be noted in another post. The new profit/loss info is below:

7/2/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG August $13 Put @ 1.15
8/21/2009 -- Stock Purchase @ $13
8/24/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG October $13 Call @ 0.60
9/2/2009 -- Bought To Open 1 UNG October $8 Put @ .4275
10/16/2009 -- Option Expiration
10/20/2009 -- Sold To Open 1 UNG November $12 Call @ .45
11/6/2009 -- Bought To Open 1 UNG December $9 Put @ 0.41


The important purchase metrics are below for insight into possible profit and loss (these all include commissions):
Purchase Price: $1190.00

Possible Max Upside: 2.63%

Annualized Max Upside: 6.75%
