Peter, if you sell deep in the money calls, (ex., strike price 40), risks and rewards are comparable to shorting the common (assuming you would be happy to cover at about the strike price). Same margin requirement, transaction cost may be slightly higher ($17 1/2 for 10 contracts at Dreyfus compared to $15 commission for 1000 shares), and you do get time premium.

Regards,

Tom
