That's really interesting/cool, Tech. I'd like to learn how to do that, maybe just start really slow, like a couple of contracts, so if you lose, no big deal...until I get a feel. I understand leaps, but have not ventured into that kind of options trading-- I have a question. Could you sell covered calls the week of options expiry if they were tiny increments like that? I don't even know if it's possible. For instance, when options are basically about to expire worthless--say at 63 cents or something,like some of the Dell calls--and it's obvious the stock isn't going to suddenly rise above that strike price, can you sell calls? Or is the price too small? I was just wondering how one could "scalp" $500 or $1000 a month on stock by selling covered calls that were very unlikely to be called away...have you ever done that?
