<<Anyone have a website to do Black-Scholes what-ifs? >> I don't know of a Black-Sholes "what-if" site but there are simpler calculators to determine yield and downside protection such as the 5 page CBOE one here: cboe.com I use McMillan's calculator because it is all on one page (takes some time to start on my computer): optionstrategist.com

www.cboe.com has an interactive site. They will also send you a couple of videos re options from that site. Various strategies and what if scenarios can be entered into their model to give expected results. No graphs that I could find. ARS

it's more than a bit of overkill but here's an interesting site regarding b-s modeling and options prices. You will see it reveals options to be a losing game, but not with regard to covered calls. Since the model is designed to reduce risk to near zero and the subsequent reward to an incremental level I believe the usefulness of black scholes modeling on a personal level without the benefit of large numbers to be limited. Heres the link. Knock yourself out. :) ggw.org MT
