BTU is showing weakness as the company had made a bid for Australian coal company last weak. All other coal stocks are up 3 to 4%.
I am buying BTU at 45.80 and selling April 48 call for 60 cents (or $60). This contract expires in 11 days. Reasonable risk and reward per my views.
I will use BTU as month to month covered call play till the stock is taken away or loss exceeds 5%
Please do your own home work.

I also bought YGE at 12.39 and sold April 13 calls for 20 cents ($20 credit per contract). I will seller of calls month to month and get out of trade if there is 5% loss
