Hello Tom,

You should never do something that you are not comfortable with. A moderately aggressive CCer (that closely follows the charts) would CC a few months out and at a lower strike price in the money. Reason? The extra large premies will sit in your account and make your stomach feel a whole lot better. Eventually, you would have to cover when the stock bottoms at a nice discount. The large premies you collect provide the resources to buy PUTs to turbocharge your profits.

I will be coming out with some information on reading open interest levels to better gauge the direction of a stock price. It was very interesting reading.
