Thanks... seems quite a solid strategy to me, perhaps the only difference is that I am not afraid of being called away, if the strike price is substantially above my basis and/or the price is riding the upper bollinger band. (The theory being, that a short term drop returning to the b.b. moving average, would result in a lower re-entry point).

On the other hand, a careful consideration of the tax implication plus the fact that buying and selling may require more time spent watching the price movements, may result in protecting the stock as a better alternative.

Thank you.

ot rudedog, I have not been an options trader to date. Since I expect the market to drop in the near term and have a significant position in GLW taken recently, what is the best way to protect the investment without selling? should I write covered calls against it? thanks, tp
