rydad,

re: should I write now while prices and premiums are low

Prices are low but (volatility) premiums are higher as the market drops.

If you believe we are close to a bottom, it's a good time to do buy/write (assuming you want to get called). If you believe that we are close to a top, it's a good time to write calls on existing positions that you don't want to get called away.
