You must be doing something out of whack with most covered call writers.

1) I do between 15 and 20 positions in covered calls each month.

2) I have never ever bought a put as insurance.

3) Even my bad positions work out OK in a few months. ( AMD, MOT)

I never did a covered call on Enron or any of the dot coms.

Over what period of time is your 6.25% gain spread ?

The best spread sheet around is the one between your ears.

What stocks are you using for covered calls?
