4.buy low and sell in the money two months out CCs for big premies. No cheap PUTs? Then short the stock to short against the box (downward hedge) & addition make big $$ gains. Wait to cover short stock & CCs real cheap.

Herm,

You seem to be implying that you can write CC's and short against the box for the same securities held. Will investment houses permit this? I always thought writing CC's was the equivalent to shorting against the box.
