I do not use any ratings services, just my own dd at Yahoo. Perhaps I should. I like your scan idea - sorting on yield AND downside protection. The only way I can imagine (off the top of my head, anyway) an unchanged or exercised yield of 4-5% and downside protection of 10% is by selling an ITM call. True? Is that what usually dominates your scans? (Note that by 10% downside protection, I am assuming you mean your premium is roughly 10% of your original basis.) Sam
