As Herm pointed out (believe me, he is the expert here) - this is a conservative approach and it will limit, as you pointed out, a large move to the up side. If you are confident of a company's chances of great earnings, buying calls as a side play can provide you a way to participate in that upside potential. With VVUS, I have done covered calls with my shares for April 10s as I feel there may be a sell-off (IMHO) on the Viagra news, with the assumption that it is approved. I should be able to buy back my covered calls go for a double dip as I think the drop will be temporary.
