Rx - ROFL, don't feel evil.

I personally fin it much easier to be synthetic short on an option combination than shorting the stock.

If I understand you well, you sold a deep ITM call? In that case, shouldn't you buy ITM or slightly OTM calls, case the market turns the other way? Leaps OK if you want to keep the stock.
