REVIEW OF THE CCing PROCESS:

Some basic concept around How to W.I.N. When Writing Covered Calls!

W=withdraws I=increases N=neutral

1. W - When the price is peaking (price touches upper BB and high
RSI) and on the verge of (W)ITHDRAWING:

a. Sell CCs at or in the money! (Bread and Butter)
b. Buy cheap PUTs and/or short the stock! (sideshow)
c. Cash in long calls! (sideshow)

2. I - When the price is bottoming (price touches lower BB and low
RSI) and on the verge of recovery and the price is (I)ncreasing:

a. Cover your CCs! (Bread and Butter)
b. Buy long calls!(sideshow)
c. Sell in the money PUTs! (sideshow)
d. Buy cheap warrants if offered (sideshow) Warrants over $5.00 can
be purchased on margin!

3. N - When the price is moving sideways, do nothing but watch!

a. Watch the upward/down slope of RSI! Hint - RSI will give you a
small lead in the direction of the stock price.

b. Watch the earnings dates, options expiration dates, and the
closest strike price. Note
- Most MM shakeouts come the week before options expiration week.
c. Watch for split announcements or mergers.

SUMMARY: Sell (write) CALLs - Buy PUTs
Buy CALLs - Sell (write)PUT
