Cary, you said >I want to sell way out of the money, ~6 month covered calls when there is a good return and little likelihood that my shares will be called away.< I have difficulty with the little likelihood part. TA can help some, but drastic price moves have been unexpected. Another approach would be to write/buy calls with smaller returns more often. There's still risk, but it limited and known in advance. Please refer to this link for options prices. finance.yahoo.com Sell Oct $15.00 calls for $0.95 Buy Oct $16.25 calls for $0.55 Profit is 40 cents and maximum risk is [$1.25 - $ 0.40] if AMAT goes above $16.25 PS: interactivebrokers.com takes $1 per contact as commission.
