Thanks Stephen for answering #2945! I do agree with you. It is known (?) - I have never seen any study however - that calls buying is a loosing proposition in spite of the fact that it is sold "as your loss is limited". However, let me add that in the example of AXC, it is difficult to do because there are no calls between 7 1/2 and 10: this is 25% difference. Better done with a stock between $20 and 30 where you have a lot more calls to sell. Also, selling calls is fine; what can be done at the same time is to buy calls at higher strike prices if the stock is going up; this could be rewarding if the stock keeps going up...the risk is there obviously.
