It's tough to write calls into a wildly oscillating market. It feels too much like rolling dice. The slow process of eroding time premium is dwarfed by daily swings, and if your timing is just a little off, you can smother some superb opportunities for appreciation of the underlying stock.

I generally try to stay uncovered through earnings reports, and have held to that practice this quarter based on what I feel to be severe undervaluation of my core holdings and the small possibility of an upward correction.
