John... I look at both things. I know the general range of each of my core holdings so I pick the strike on based on that range. And I too wait until the market goes up and hope that I get as close to or slighly over in-the-money calls to maximize premium. But I also worry about this particular market over the next couple of months and sell calls, as I did yesterday, whenever we have a nice move. Monday may continue that move, but in this climate it is just as likely for people to take profits. And we're all "guessing" -- just about everything! Good luck. I myself sold intc oct 30's for 1.45. I was a little worried intel might just hold the thirty if we continue to have a little relief rally. PoetTrader
