Elmo thank you for taking the time to lay that out for me. Herm: if you write deep in the money calls aren't you essentially protecting your downside to the extent they are in the money--e.g. isn't the in the money portion reflected in an increased premium? I read the powerpoint presentation. What a wonderfully simple way of presenting complex information. Thank-you. Here's another question. If you want to sell a stock--say AT&T--anyway. Why not write a covered call or even a deep in the money covered call--if you get called out great, if you don't collect another premium?

Sometimes I have trouble looking at my positions.....and remembering what a 5 Letter Option symbol stands for I've learned of course the month...and strike price (-IE)...but it would be great if there were a place you could look up quickly a 5 letter option symbol.....and get the underlying, month, and strike price.... sometimes I will put in a fake-trade.......just to get this information from my broker.....before I hit the "send" button....but I feel guilty about this. anybody know a good way of getting the underlying .........from the 5 letter option symbol???
