NTES - Adjustment

The NTES May08 20.00 Call was ITM so the following adjustment was made today to avoid possible assignment:

29-Apr-08 - Buy Back & Roll Out/Up - BTC 4 May08 20.00 Call @ -2.52 -
29-Apr-08 - Continued Trade - STO 4 Jun08 25.00 Call @ 0.68 -

This traded resulted in a net debit of $1.84/share. I normally try to roll out for a net credit, which would have meant going out farther in time and possibly buying additional shares. However, since this is a non-dividend paying position I didn't want to add more funds to the position or go out too far in time. So I decided to roll out/up to the Jun08 25.00 Call, which was the second OTM strike available that was above my original cost basis.
