couldn't help listening on your covered call discussion. Although not a big player I tend to write covered calls when stocks rally, for example, when CPQ was 37/38 I sold Apr 37.5's for 2 1/4 and bought them back later at a lower price. I consider these to be trades in themselves and if you are making a profit in addition to holding an appreciating equity it is great.

problem is when a stock rallies big time i could miss out. last year when i wrote hwp july 55 calls for a measly 2$ and the stock went to 70 i missed on a 15 point run.

nowadays i tend to write longer term calls that gives me a chance to buy back on a down day.
