Sergio, I am not saying covered writing is a bad thing, as with all option strategies there is always a good and bad time for all of them. I was just bringing up another point of view. As I said to David I think I may try the hedge angle. And about most options expiring worthless I'll have to check it out the last report I saw was for 1996 I think and I don't know if it included equity options in MM accounts or index options, and whether money was made or lost but I think it said only around 35% expire worthless. As far as a case study if your into it I'm game. You will have to start it off and I'll jump in when I can. I'll dust off the static and if called rate of return formulas I have somewhere and see if they are helpful. Joe
