<< Now I only sell covered calls on stocks not volatile like
ASND (e.g. CS). What do you think?>>
You might be right. I'm relatively new to selling covered calls, so I'm still on the learning curve. I just sold some calls on my XON( much less volatile than ASND ) today. Now I get call money and dividends :-))

I agree with you. Covered calls strategy is overhyped. You're absolutely right, covered calls provide very little protection if your stock plummetts. Also when they get exercised, you pay more commission, plus the cost of the spread on the options when you buy them.
