<<In the seventies and early eighties, covered call writing became popular precisely because those doing it achieved better returns. So, the task is to identify the proper conditions for each and every technique.>>>

I was going to say something like this. Writing covered calls has traditionally been used with a stock that moves little or is in a trading range. In that past time frame, one would usually use it with blue chips that had a relatively stable trading range and dividends to increase the yield on the stock. If your stock got bought, you did not lose much because the stock was unlikely to move much above the call price.
