Caroline - Yeah, this is what I was looking for. The tables have the stock, the current price, the call closest to the current price and the option premium (listed in order of highest premium first). The only problem, as you mentioned, is "Do I want to own the underlying?" So my plan is to get a list, just like the above, of, let's say, the top 500 stocks on the market. Then I would scroll down the list until I found stocks I knew well and wanted to buy. Then buy up and start writing covered calls keeping in mind things like earnings reports, holiday sell offs, etc. The only problem with the above table is that it just gives the top 8 stocks and I am not interested in any of them. Where can I get a expanded list. Let's say out to the top 500 or so. I didn't see it at NASDAQ or NYSE but maybe I just don't know where to go. Maybe the above site has an expanded list somewhere? Thanks much for your time. Franz
