And what are the tools available to locate the stock and call with the best % return?

I bought NTAP at 11.11, and sold the Aug 12.50 call at 1.05. I decided that, based on the purchase price, a (slightly less than) 10% option premium and (slightly more than) 10% stock appreciation between purchase price and strike price was a good combination. But I don't know that better situations existed, nor how to look for them... other than by trial and error.

Now, I'm wishing that I had sold the call last week when it was 30 cents, so that I could re-sell it now at over $3. Should I have done this?
