>>If a stock is at $20, is it your preference to write ATM calls, or $22 1/2 or $17 1/2?<<

I would go with the 22 1/2's. That's 12.5% Plus the option premium. Not bad for a month's work. And I would also look at the 25's. Would probably write the 22 1/2's, but would consider the 25's. I wrote EULFX, now wish I had done the EULFE. Will watch this closely through Friday.

Whenever I write a call, I want to be very happy when it is exercised.
