Typically, he will buy the underlying stock and write covered calls to collect the premies, then buy back if the stock falls and resell CCs on the next upswing. Hal, This strategy is "silly". The covered call is a synthetic naked put. A naked put and the covered call have the same upside potential with the same downside risk. There is a difference. One need not tie up capital in buying the underlying security and only one transaction is necessary to create the position. Write the naked put! Glenn
