With all due respects to your choices of IBM and MSFT....CSCO has a higher beta than either of them (about 1.64). The higher beta the more frequently it moves up and down over a predicted or unpredicted range.

Right now I can't seem to find any quote sources that give the quote and the beta.

But even knowing that CSCO has a higher beta does not guarantee success in trading the brute. The rally this week was beyond my expectations as I has previously written covered calls at the 12.5 and the 15 strike. and if it rallies some more this week I will write more covered calls at the 17.5 strike.

My expectation would be that the stock finishes up between 12 and 14 in ten trading days.

Regards, Jerome
