taxman -
a stock that is considered "good" today may be considered a "dog" a few months later.

Ya mean like CPQ??? I'm certainly familiar with stocks that go down and don't come back up...

if the price appreciates markedly your gain is limited to the premium.
Yes but my core holding will appreciate. If I was certain (or "felt in my heart of hearts") that DELL would run up to say the mid-50's in the next few months, I might buy calls to leverage my position... but I don't have that confidence. I sold Nov 55 covered calls and have not bought that position out but I probably will shortly, I'm up 2 on them.
