UF - Hey, you did better on a profit-per-trade basis, so my HTD award salutes you. Having entered March very much a beginner in writing CCs, I was reluctant to risk all 1K shares at the same strike price. And making as many trades as I did, definitely increased my execution costs (although I think I have a good arrangement with my broker and do not mind compensating her for her CC advice, the truth is the more trades, the more cost). My current view is that if I deem the strike price fair (as I did for the May 65s) I am now willing to risk all 1K shares in one CC transaction. Thanks for the example (and inspiration) you have been to me over these past few months.
