1) The ITM calls listed at coveredcalls.com show the % returns if the call is exercised (Exer%) and if the call is not exercised (NotEx%). 2) The value they use for their option price is always the price of the last option sale. For low volume options, that price can be very different from the current bid/ask. This can lead to inaccurate entries in their list. But those lists are just a good starting point. You must do lots of your own DD before making any decisions. 3) AMTD. There seems to be some problem with the quotes for AMTD's options. My broker (Dreyfus) has goofed up data for AMTD. The CBOE website doesn't even list the JUL22.5 strike. Remember, coveredcalls.com just has a program that cranks out their listings based on current prices. If their input data is bad, the results will be bad. Good luck setting up your August plays everyone. Too bad this is a 5 week option period. I hate waiting that extra week <gg> -Jeff
