Hi bland thanks for info...I'll follow along with you on how your trades do...there seems to be two schools of thought on writing CC...the Voltaire school (write 'em) vs the rr5 school (damn the torpedoes and go for broke)...I have split up my stuff...I see both sides...Rick's point is a valid one too:why trade off potential mega appreciation for a lower "return"?..the "returns" are really an illusion... but of course I like the numbers that you came up with...

Bland likes that very much. Bland, The day will come when you get $10 and the stock drops $20. That is not a bad day! That is a day you need to learn to expect. That is a day that will come several times a year unless you have a crystal ball. Don't worry, be happy, as long as the economy is sound this game plays well when you look at the aggregate. The other day that you will remember is when you get $10 and the stock gets $100 and goes bye-bye. That is another day that you made money. You can ruin your heart with options, but when you are in heaven you will look back and say "That was a good deal". Say that today and you won't ruin your heart. TP
