taxman, Do you even hold stock? <ggg> That is a long October options list. A list like that (although very diversified) would make my head spin. I would find it hard to keep track of what is going on. I tend to take very aggressive options positions on 2 to 3 stocks at a time and hold the balance in stocks and mutual funds. I rarely do covered calls OR even sell naked calls or puts. I tend to make bets on one direction and not bother with any kind of hedging. Kinda like going for home runs and not batting for singles. I am playing primarily JDSU, followed by some AOL/INTC/MSFT. For the most part i am going with November or January calls. I still have some Octobers and plan to add a bit more (of the speculative kind one week before expiration-(hold Intel 80s) depending upon my gut feeling on the stocks after watching the next couple of days. Good luck with your options.
