Excellent advice - I've a large position in XOM, which I've treated passively over the past few years (luckily it seems) and only recently decided to manage it actively. Your advice plays well with thoughts I've had over the past month or two.

Your advice to initiate after a modest sell off - are you suggesting that the premium value is generally greatest at that point? (all other things being equal.)

Thanks again.

>> My preference if to use large cap stocks. A good entry point ( after a modest sell off) seems to work best.

Is that in reference to a buy-write strategy? If not, you'll need to explain in detail, because I don't understanding why you'd wait for a dip to write covered calls against equities you already owned...
