<<Seriously Peter. What is your opinion on the call volume for the April 40s?

Do you really think that people are plopping down $20 for calls that are not marginable. You kind of lose the benefits of leverage at prices like that. Why not just buy the stock? I think it is covered call selling or just plain old naked call writing.>>

Covered call selling -- could be. For that volume, how would the option specialist hedge such a transaction? Wouldn't it be better to write out of the money calls?
