OT unless you are interested in options. But Edamo I dont understand: you say some of my favorite stocks are way over sold so sell puts...that I understand (although it takes a LOT of money in your account so I cant do much of that). But why, if they are oversold would you sell DIM calls? Dont you sell those when the stock is up high high high, to keep your gains even if the stock goes down? And what do you call a deep in the money call: e.g. if Dell is at 35, what is a dimc, what price, and what does it get you? You said that as the stock goes up the call goes up but that doesnt help you if you sold it: you lose your stock at a low price...what am I missing? Also do you do this for next month or many months out or leaps? Freeus
