Hi Greg, I realize now that I completely missed your point earlier. Selling calls on MCD might be worth considering right here. That wasn't what I thought you meant, as I said. Sorry about my confusion... <g> Ken

I am new on this thread. I have 400 shares of SUNW paid in my account. My objective is: 1. to keep the security for a long term 2. to benefit from keeping 30K tied up. Can somebody answer the following questions for me? 1. do I write calls on a day when stock goes up or down? 2. what is a daily percentage of the stock going up(or down) when i open cc position? 3. which month? Should I sell option for current month?, next month?, 10 monthes from now?.... etc,etc) 4. what about strike price? Is it today price +10%? , today price +20%? etc,etc,?) 5. what is the mechanism to insure that I do not loose security?
