Indeed. It's tough to stick with a program of writing deep in-the-money's hoping to get called while seeking 12-18% annualized returns, when the things that you just knew were cheap finally get recognized and take off.

That seems to be a major downside, at least psychologically-speaking, of writing covered calls.

Recent examples are Dow, Ebay, Goodyear, Sandisk (not that this ever got "cheap"), and MSFT.

I still think Dow Chemical is a cheap stock, btw.
