It seems like you're focused on good, even great, stocks, but taking a pounding repeatedly due to short term market volatility. The problem is not the stocks you're choosing but the investment vehicles you're selecting. Have you considered using common stock or LEAPS instead of calls? You'd give up leverage on the upside, but it would reduce your exposure on the downside. If you know your stocks will appreciate in the long term, then match your investment vehicle to your vision.
