"when emotions like ego" Apologies for being technical, but (from my vantage point) -- everything arises in the life force (aka The Divine) -- a series of contractions of that life force, in the form of inclinations, tendencies etc (seen together)in an overall pattern are the so-called ego -- the experiences of the so-called ego come in various flavors, each with its own distinctive "feeling" -- the feelings are in various families, most common families being sorrow, anger, fear (and their various subsets) -- thus, the ego is the "program set", and feeling is a "value-tag" associated with the "content-data" Does that make sense? But I do understand your point--that how one FEELS is definitely part of one's trading and has to be taken into account in one manner or another. Namaste! Jim

Kirk, ** Options and mechanics of the formula * If an investor does not understand the mechanics of covered call writing all the paper trades in the world are not going to save his portfolio. This is not: >> a do it now and read the instructions later type of program << In covered call writing there are no significant emotions involved. Its a simple formula of Stock price + strike price + call premium over a specific period of time. I look for a 9 to 12% gain and sometimes I have to use a strike that is two months away. Its not a get rich formula, but it does pay the rent and keep beer in the fridge. Have a good 4th....Jerome
