The NTES Aug08 25.00 call was exercised on Fri and the stock was called away for
a profit. The following is the trade history and returns, including IB
commissions.

This is an example of a stock, held for about 2.5 years, where the stock price
was essentially unchanged. Yet again, through selling covered calls, I was able
