John:

A useful CC tool (Excel spreadsheet) can be downloaded here:

cboe.com

Just plug in the numbers and it will calculate rates of return.

Since the spreads are often pretty significant, I have had some success in splitting the bid/ask or going a teenie below the current ask. I hardly ever sell at the bid.

PS Another great options site:

webbindustries.com

John..

25 (strike price) - 22.75(current cost) = 2.25(stock appreciation)

2.25(stock appreciation) + 1.125 (call value) =3.375 (total return)

3.375 (total return) / 22.75 (investment cost) = 14.83% return if called

So.......14.83% if called at 25.

May options expiration are 5 weeks and 2 days away (pretty easy to
figure that one, huh? <g>)

Downside protection is down to 21 5/8.
