Re: "Forget the covered calls and go with puts. This thing is not going down (except for minor profit taking). As you said, 97% (or something) of puts expire worthless. Keep working the puts!!!" This is my first post from Haifa Israel where I arrived last night. I hope to sleep in a day or two. I will be writing Puts with abandon right after earnings. The CCs have a very high premium so I thought I'd get some of it and it was in my IRA anyway. I can't buy calls in that IRA but I can write cash backed Puts and CCs. I expected to get assigned. All in all I made nearly $10 per share for April. I know a lot of you did better but I'm not trying to hit a home run here, only steady growth. Good luck to you. EP
