Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for your good observation: the 3 most important factors in a strategy's success are: the stock, the stock, and the stock. I'm trying to determine a good, disciplined way to find those stocks and you've added a good source of knowledge for me. May I ask, for your combined stock-buying, covered-call-writing and sideshows, what broker do you use? Best regards, Skipperr

Jeff, I am new to this thread but what does the exercise percent mean in the link that you provided? Thanks, Dave

jeff There is something wrong with that link. for example it shows AMTD Aug 22.5 options at 23.5 and I show a quote of 11 3/4 to 12 1/2. Dave

Hi Jeff, I guess I side with your solid approach as well. I tend to do fairly well with beaten down stocks poised to fire up again. And like your said, the data at coveredcalls.com is a good place to start if you don't have a clue what you like. Of course,you do have to look at the charts, price range of the stock to determine if you can hold out, and how much downside risk vs. upside profit potential. Thanks for your insight.
