Doug and Herm, On a related note, in this week's Barron's, Larry McMillan wrote an article suggesting doing a Calendar Spread, or a back spread to take advantage of the volatility of the market. His idea of doing a Back Spread (selling a long term call, and buying twice as much short term calls with a higher strike price) seems appealing. The only drawback he said is that the shorted long term call is considered naked. Now, if we already own the stock, then that is not a problem. I would like to solicit comments from you, Herm and other experienced Option investors on McMillan's article. Sounds like a very good addition to our CC toolbox. //Vincent -- too lazy to work out the math
