Steve:

Thanks for the covered call calculations. Have you looked at the covered call spreadsheet that was mentioned by drsvelte ?

cboe.com

It gives a slightly higher return (just over 15%) even though it factors in both the option commission and the stock commission (if exercised). Not sure why but it seems to be because it treats the premium as a reduction in cost rather than an increase in return.
If you have Excel 5.0 or higher you might want to take a look. Its well-designed and also gives unexercised returns and downside protection.

Thanks again,
John
