There's an opening for an assistant threadmaster on the Foreign Affairs thread. It's an unpaid position, but it will keep you too busy to think about writing calls, which will help you preserve capital.

<<sold those in an IRA rollover account, I don't have to worry about tax consequences. So I'm going to spend some portion of this week trying to decide between (1) just getting called out and buying back on dips, (2) repairing by doing one of the variants of buying back and reselling Novs, and/or (3) getting called out and selling puts to get back in, as someone just recommended as a possible.>>
