How do you decide which stocks will pay a high enough premium on calls to make them interesting for a covered call writing approach or are you simply selling calls on stocks you are interested in holding? Thanks.

Be patient. Wait for the stock to take a dip before buying and then wait, wait and
wait some more before writing the call on the up swing. Make sure that the dip is not a
collapse of the stock due to some fundamental reason. Remember, that the
fundamentals will over whelm TA every time. I have found that buy-writes generally
sting me, so I usually CC as a two step approach for a trade.
