Re:"So Jim what is the plan now with INTC at $160 1/2??"

Ray,

I think one important thing I've learned is that before you enter
any trade, whether a simply stock purchase, or something more
complex like options, you need do decide AHEAD of time what you
will do under different scenarios. I posted earlier

If INTC did happen to hit 160 in the next 17 trading days, I'd
be thrilled! I'd also buy back the 160's and sell even more 170's
which would be a perfect scenerio

My plan for tomorrow AM is to buy back the 160's and sell 3 of
the 170's for every 2 of the 160's that I previously owned.
At an INTC share price of 160 1/8, this will cost me very little
to do. What will I do if INTC hits 170 before expiration?
I will roll the Feb 170's into Mar 180's, again at a very little
cost. I always roll when the out of the money covered calls
become in the money covered calls, and I will always do whatever
it takes to keep the stock from being called. Good luck tomorrow!

Jim
