Bill, You're a lucky man. Your hope came true. So far, I've never sold a MTSN Call. I once sold 20 SVGI 15s when the stock was trading near $17 hoping to make an extra 1/2 a buck on the sale. Stock fell to 11 prior to expiry; so I got to keep the shares :-( and the premium. :-) That was my one and only venture into covered calls. I think I'll stick with selling PUTs for companies that I like enough to own more of at the Strike sold. Happy new year, Ian.
