"I don't think that covered call writing is a long term winner."

i agree with you. a long time cboe trader told me to "play the wings"--buy the volatility, don't sell it.

as a result since 1995 i have been buying puts and calls.

neverthless after exercising my in the money calls, i sometimes fall into the trap of hedging by selling a covered call rather than buying the put.

regards
