Tom, So you were the cause for the price drop in the latter half of the day.! Selling 1/2 is always a good idea. If the price goes up, you make more money. If the price goes down, you also feel good as you only lose 1/2 as much money and can throw more money in at the appropriate time. That is why I like Covered Calls so much, and use them often. If the price goes up, I make money on the stock. If it goes down, I make money on the option. If it stays the same (best case), I still make money on the option. I'll never hit it big, but I've given up on that 2 years ago. If you employ covered calls in a truly mechanized trading system, it takes out all the guesswork and emotion of the stock market (your two biggest enemies!) Mark
