You are right. Perhaps I worded that wrong. I realize the risk of a CD is zero. I just meant that by buy-writing on something like GE , I could get like 3% per month with lower risk than if I wrote calls on more volatile tech stocks and that I was willing to "settle" for that return rather than take more risk to get like 7-10% per month.

Now I will continue my education and look into DITM calls like you suggested.

thanks
