That's a good plan. I own some Apr 120s. I would like to sell them when the Q re-tests 200.

As for my stock, I usually sell out of the money current month calls against the stock. It works well when the Q isn't having one of those 200+ point gains in 30 days type moves (which has been pretty frequent of late) but I think that will end now. Q is in a uptrend but moving with the NASDAQ and I agre with you we are in for a decent correction by late March. April through August has been the wrong time to be in the market for the past 2 or 3 years.

Can we get to 200 in the next 2 weeks?

Jim writing calls against your Q position is not a path I would like to take. I would not like my Q shares to be called away. One month out of the money calls would be the only things I would consider.

If you sell DIM calls on your Q and the stock rocks upward, you will lose your position. Why would you want to do that? Maybe I am missing something here.

Jim, If you are working in a taxable acct., I would talk to an accountant before executing a DIM covered-call sale plan. If such a sale were deemed a constructive sale by the IRS, it could have tax implications.
