Chris,

Before you venture into Covered calls, you should read Lawrence McMillan's "Options as a Strategic Investment". I noted in your profile that you are a trader. On this thread we have people with a range of strategies from "long and deep"..Herm, our resident guru/master...to option daytraders, who virtually scalp Covered Calls (mostly because I suspect they are using IRAs, and can't do options any other way). If you start with McMillan, and read the last 300 posts on this thread you will get a pretty good sampling of ideas on which to base your own strategy. I lean more toward the day trader mentality, as you will see from my more recent posts. All the strategies you will see here are good ones, that each person has developed to suit their own style and situation.

That said, the odds are very very low that you will be assigned all the way up to expiration date.
