Jeff, another strategy I am using for cc writing is buying LEAPS on out of favor, good quality stocks like HWP, MOT, SLB and selling next month out of the money calls to lower your nut on the LEAP. I have done this successfully for the past 6 months or so and now HWP and SLB are moving up. Also, I am not familiar with Quattro Pro and would be interested in receiving your formula information at bressink@startext.net. Thanks...Phillip
