I excercised my Jan. calls...last week--now I'm thinking (since I've got so much stock)- about selling near term out of the money calls, once the stock rebounds a bit. Looks like practically a no-lose proposition. How often is a call seller actually called out? Are they always called out if the stock surpasses their strike price, or just some of the time? I'd love to hear from you and/or anyone else with experience. Thanks...!

edited excerpt from a post i found on silicon investor. can you imagine an investor entering the options market without knowing the answers to these questions? also the implication that a covered call is a no lose situation.

regards
