USO -- Roll Position Up and Out

The USO position was rolled up and out:

Date Description Total aXIRR aROI
2008-12-26 Buy 1000 USO @ $27.90 -$27,900.00

2008-12-26 Sell 10 USO Jan09 $28 Calls @ $2.40 $2,380.05

2008-12-31 Buyback 10 USO Jan 2009 $28 @ $5.50 -$5,480.05

2008-12-31 Sell 10 USO Feb 2009 $30 @ $5.70 $5,680.05

2009-02-21 Sell at end of period $32,900.00 434.3% 174.0%

I was able to roll it up $2 for a $0.20 gain, which increase both aXIRR and aROI over the original position. Seemed like a good move. However, the stock price has moved up $5 to $32.90, so the position is still ITM quite a ways.
