Alan, thanks for getting back to me,

a) Have a margin account, authorized for long/short spreads, uncovered option writing?
b) Protect your long ASND position by writing options?
c) Have an addtn'l $5K (risk free) to support Fed requirements?


a) yes, yes, yes
b) don't like writing covered calls. Done it only twice, and lost stock both times, regrettably.
c) yes
