Night Writer: Thanks for the informative post suggesting a strategy of "Buy 100 CPQ at 60 and Sell 1@July Call at 70 Strike price for $6"
Last Bid Ask Chg High Low Vol OI Sym

I cut and paste the above from DREYFUS BROKERAGE SERVICES web site just for clarification. Is the correct instruction to your broker, "Sell a Call"? I have heard of selling a Put. I'm somewhat confused as a novice about the correct term to use for the intended action. Would you care to make it more clear or am I asking for too much redundance here on a message board. Should I email you my telephone number and you could call collect to explain in over the telephone?

Thanks for your patience.
