I downloaded the WINS powerpoint presentation last weekend. I was wondering how you determine which option to sell. Is it based on some additional criteria other than ATM or ITM? Do you sell calls that are more than 2 months out? Some of my current holdings only have options for OCT right now (there are none for AUG, SEPT). How do I use the short information? Does it make a difference on how many shorts there are on my stock at the time I sell the call? I have 800 IBM shares and want to generate additional income from them but don't really want to sell them (if possible). Will the WINS strategy work for this purpose?
