HTH, Re : "If I can write for $1 each month then I could get $6 worth of benefit in six months (versus a smaller premium if I wrote farther out at higher strikes). Sounds good, as long as you are aware that the chance of getting called are higher. good luck. Maui.

Hightechhooper, I am a long long term lurker on this thread. I have been observing your posts with interest. Here is some help for the option value computation. In order to estimate the residual value of an option you may use the following option price calculator (This is based on Black & Scholes Model) and it is available at cboe.com or tradetrek.com Option values are dependent on volatility, expiry date, interest rate, strike price, dividend, market price. You may experiment with different values via the formula. For volatility you may obtain your estimates from the following address, cboe.com Of course the results will still be no more than a mathematical estimate. However, they may have some value as you compare different strategies. I wish you best. Seyda
