Guys and Gals, I'm new to this thread, so please be patient with me. I have been studying the opportunities covered calls provide. I can't believe more people don't check these investments out, especially in a down market. Having some extra income to buy on the way down would be a good strategy. What's the best place to learn more about writing covered calls? Is there a good website, or does anyone know of a good book I could read to learn more? Thank you for your ideas. Sincerely, Michael aka SmallChange

Herm, I was thinking BTGC would retreat more than it did in the last couple of days. Appears too be strong and holding up well. What is your thought on entry. Would you wait to see if there is a pullback or enter now. I don't plan to buy stock but considering call or spread. Also, Tnsi is holding up well. Thanks.

Herm, after reading your evaluation of MU, and after watching the explosive gains today, I ventured in buying 10 oct 25 puts at 9/16. MU, in my opinion has to give at least some back. Do you agree? regards, Paolo.
