Bob
if you want to write calls...I would watch for the VIX to upsurge

Dell options have been stripped and the IV bag is dripping... you will be missing out on fat premiums...

timing is key here though because of the earnings run up
however, I know some people who bought calls expecting the usual earnings run up last time and got burned big time.... 58 -59 might be good if you are able to watch it and cover before earnings

and Zeem..now dont be talkin' about C'dale....

Covered Calls for Jan
If you are trying to keep the time premium is decays very slowly when the calls are 3 months away. Dell can move quite a few points in the meantime.
