Sam,

re: .....you are gambling with the principal in the stretch for income.

You bet. Single stock events can wipe you out. Look at RIMM today. No amount of covered calls will hedge a 26 point move to the downside.

Broad based ETF's or indices are the way to go, even for buy/write strategies. WIth the VIX at 36, premiums are lofty.

cheers,
k
