Bought HAL @ $11.14, sold Feb 10 calls @ $2.10.


This doesn't seem like a great risk/reward strategy to me. You get called out, you gain about 8.5%

If you don't, it means that you've lost at least 10.3% on your investment (offset by your covered call premium)

Why didn't you sell out of the money calls?
