Calp option premies are indeed hughe

instead of selling jan 2001 50/55/60
i sold july 45 (bought stock at 44)
think first month premies are too hughe to skip
eg july 45 @ 9 3/4
august 45 @ 12 3/8 differnce only about 3$ for one month extra

if you believe in calp a nice strategy could be
buy stock 48
sell cc 45 9 3/4
sell naked put 45 or 40 5 3/4 or 3 5/8

if above 45 one sells for 45 +16 or 12 (rounded)
or retrun is 48-16 = 33 sold for 45 gain 12$ on 33 for 1 month 33% return
else if below 45 you buy your new calp stock for 29$
break even becomes then 38 or 20% below price today

cheers
