Bummer! I was just getting ready to take the credit when I saw this <ggg> I did write a fairly analytical piece arguing the advantages of farther out writes, but I can hardly claim to be the only one who ever thought of it. I am a believer though. I do a near month buy write now and then, but with stocks bouncing around as much as they are I want bigger premiums. I've read a few articles lately that are questioning the wisdom of writing CCs at all because the premiums are too small. Farther out gets you the bigger premium, and often there is opportunity to book a nice profit in a week or two so the time erosion factor (theta) is not that big a deal. Dan
