Herm and Everyone, I'm new to trading options(paper trading 3 months) and I have read Options as a Strategic Investment. I want to write covered calls on two stocks I currently own. I am bullish long term on both stocks, but I am looking to earn money on my investment short term. I am interested in holding on to the stocks to I am looking at strike prices that the likelyhood of being exercised is small. The two stocks I own are Qualcomm(QCOM) and Informix(IFMX). I was looking at Dec 75 calls (.QAQLO) and Dec 7.5 calls for IFMX. IFMX has several 7.5 calls and was wondering what the difference was? I am looking for a opinion on my stategy. Thanks in advance Jeremy Eddy
