To All: Writing Covered Calls I accumulated a few more shares to bring my basis down to around $29. (I sold most of my position back in mid Nov around $32) I'm very optimistic about the next few months, but some of the call premiums are awfully tempting. For example, the Feb 35s are trading around 1 3/8. Since I'm holding these shares anyways, another 1 3/8 drop in my basis would be nice. Even if I'm called out, that's about an $11 or 40% gain from these levels in 2 months time. Is there a better way to take advantage of some of this over-exhuberance or is this a good trade? Thanks, AJS
