<<Are you selling calls on all of them? or just IBM, MSFT and Cvx? >> For now just those 3, most of the dividend paying stocks do not offer a premium to make it worth it. One to two months out is my preferred period ( so much can happen in two mos.). I also look to sell calls near a point of resistance, in the case of all of the above, I don't think that any of them have the strength to extend far above where they are. And yet these are all companies that I wouldn't mind getting stuck with if there is a quick collapse -- lots of institutional support. One thing for sure, the more volatility a stock has, the more rich premium it fetches. tw
