Trade - 7/27/09 - MEE

STO (3) Naked Put - MEE (Massey Energy) Aug 09 @ $20 for $0.65 each. Net Premium $193. I have been reluctant up to now to invest in coal but this one is a strong comapny and this trade offers alot of downside protection. China is opening 1 new coal burning plant a week and there is no end in sight for them. China gets the bulk of their coal from the good 'ol USA.

  1. Nice play, it looks like their earnings were good and the stock should gap up tomorrow! Wish I pulled the trigger.
