<Thread Question....Which would be the better choice 1) Buy LRCX $20.00 and write a covered call against it immediately and get $1.80 for the call (20...strike)...or wait until LRCX gets to 18.50 then buy it and take .90 for the covered call?> 20/1.80 protects down to $18.20 and returns 9% max. 18.50/.90 protects down to $17.60 and returns 5% if expired even or a max of 13%. I think its better to do the trade at 18.50 and sell the call for 90 cents. As long as you are content to be a long term holder if necessary.
