You left out Barron's advice about DBCC covered call writing:

<<And so there are companies like Data Broadcasting, partner in the soon-to-go-public CBS Marketwatch Website and a current beneficiary of Internet fetishism. With the stock having doubled from 13 on Christmas Eve to 26, its February 22 1/2 calls were trading Friday at an implied volatility of 190%. That, Fishback notes, suggests an expectation that the stock's probable range for the next year is 7 to 90. Hard-to-justify call pricing, it seems.

To Fishback, "when people start flushing the pricing models down the toilet," it's time to be a contrarian -- not by going outright short in the face of awesome upside momentum, but by selling calls against stock positions to capture some of that bloated premium. >>
