Voltaire, I have a question(s) for you. I assume the answer is found on Jill's Options thread somewhere... However I'll try to shorten my search by asking it here. How do you derive the proper price to sell the covered call. I understand, there isn't "one" answer. It depends on the amount of money you may need, etc. I find it difficult to determine which strike price is most beneficial. I would guess in saying that it would be ideal if the price was high enough that the covered call never get's exercised. Is it best to sell covered calls during times of euphoria on the market? (Guessing that the market could settle back, making your strike price less desirable...) Do you try to time it with TA? Is part of the goal, not to have the options exercised, so that you continue to keep your shares? What does one do if they are using a non-marginable IRA trading account? ...I got a hundred more questions... I guess I should head over to the options thread and do some reading... Thanks. -CuriousClapper
